Hello guys, Wondering if it is a known issue but can't install Server Administrator on ESXi 5.0 through CLI. I checked the Dell doc named "Dell OpenManage Wtih VMware ESXi 5.0 - Systems Management Guide" and command is correctly typed but no success. Zip file was correctly uploaded to /var/log/vmware folder on the ESX host. Was anyone successful ? Keep getting this MetadatadownloadError error, here is the command I type: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>esxcli --server 10.1.1.150 software vib install -d /var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zipEnter username: rootEnter password: [MetadataDownloadError] Could not download from depot at zip:/var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip?index.xml, skipping (('zip:/var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip?index.xml', '', "Error extracting index.xml from /var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip'"))        url = zip:/var/log/vmware/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip?index.xml Please refer to the log file for more details.
