Issue

Sometimes operating system images required for the Sandbox component would not install on VMware 6.7. In the /var/log/dmesg log, there will be entries similar to this:

Line 1631: Jun 20 12:51:12 SandBox-vitr kernel: [ 290.930401] qemu-img[18917]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f1fffa33ad5 sp 00007ffee9b08480 error 4 in ld-2.17.so[7f1fffa2b000+22000]

For more examples of the /var/log/dmesg entries, see below.

Before you start following the instructions, make sure that the server hosting the Sandbox component meets the hardware requirements.

  2. Log in with root permissions via SSH.
  3. Create the updates folder using the command:

  1. Copy the archive with the update-from-esxi6.7-6.7_update03 patch to the created folder.
  2. Start the patch installation:

  1. Make sure that the patch is installed. To open the list of installed patches, run the command:
