Dell->Support->Drivers & Downloads->Driver File Formats

-Transfer the zip file to esx host,change the directory to tmp .

Note: In ESXi Embedded, this issue may also may occur when the temporary directory /var/tmp is pointing to a location which is unexpected by the process that you are attempting to run, such as collecting logs and installing patches. The correct location should be /tmp/scratch/var/tmp. To create this directory, run this command from the ESXi host:

# mkdir -p /tmp/scratch/var/tmp

run # esxupdate update --bundle ./OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.2.0-6945.VIB-ESX41i.zip
