Task: I have been asked to upgrade the power path to the latest version.
Up-gradation Procedure:
1) downloaded the powerpath tool from EMC web site ( required EMC Login creantial). https://download.emc.com/downloads/DL54746_PowerPath/VE-5.9.1.2-for-VMWARE-vSphere-Install-SW.zip
2) then you download you will get VE-5.9.1.2-for-VMWARE-vSphere-Install-SW.zip file.
3) unzip this file and copy EMCPower.VMWARE.5.9.SP1.P02.b054.zip file to your shared data store.
4) you cannot install with this VE-5.9.1.2-for-VMWARE-vSphere-Install-SW.zip file. if you do that it will give you error that index.xml file error. So use EMCPower.VMWARE.5.9.SP1.P02.b054.zip as up-gradation file
5) put the host in tomaintenance mode and migrate all the VM to another Hosts. and log in thru SSH and exeute below command
# esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volume/datastore/EMCPower.VMWARE.5.9.SP1.P02.b054.zip
datastore should be where you exported the EMC file.
6) reboot the ESXi host.
before that bear in mind about the compatibility
