VMWare VI3 - Manually Updating the VPXAgent

For some reason, I’ve had VMWare VI3 servers not successfully update their VPX Agent after a Virtual Center upgrade. Here’s the contents of an HP Rapid Deployment Pack package I wrote to handle the upgrade. The IP address is of your FTP repository.

service vpxa stop
ftp -n < open 29.12.31.29
user anonymous rdp
ascii
lcd /tmp
cd /dslib/vpxupdates
prompt
mget *
exit
EOF2
cd /tmp
sh ./vpx-uninstall-esx-5-linux-40644
sh ./vpx-upgrade-esx-5-linux-40644
rpm -qa | grep vpxa > /tmp/vpxaver.txt
