Environment<\/h2>\n

Dell M630 Blade
\nvCenter 6.7.0.400000
\nESXi 6.7.0update03-14320388.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A00<\/p>\n

Problem<\/h2>\n

When upgrading VMware vSphere and your ESXi hosts to version 6.7u3 you may experience an error similar to:<\/p>\n

The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting:<\/p>\n

LSI_bootbank_scsi-mpt3sas_04.00.00.00.00.lvmw-10EM.500.0.0.472560<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remove the conflicting VIBs or use Image Builder to create a custom ISO.\u201d

Resolution<\/h2>\n

Always have a backup of your configuration just in case!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is due to conflicting VIBs on your ESXi host.<\/p>\n
