in case you want to do an offline update:
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-8.0U3-24022510-standard --depot=/vmfs/volumes/ESX4-datastore/ISO/VMware-ESXi-8.0U3-24022510-depot.zip
esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-8.0b-21203435-depot.zip -p ESXi-8.0b-21203435-standard
you need the profile:
esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ISO/VMware-ESXi-8.0U2c-23825572-depot.zip
Then:
esxcli software profile update --depot=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ISO/VMware-ESXi-8.0U2c-23825572-depot.zip --profile= what you got above
to check: tail -f /var/log/esxupdate.log
