- You are upgrading VMware NSX and the host upgrade is failing.
- In the ESXi logs /var/run/log/esxupdate.log we see the following errors:
LoadKernelModules() File "/etc/init.d/nsx-datapath-dl", line 217, in LoadKernelModules nsxesxutils.loadModule(modName, modParam) File "/usr/lib/vmware/nsx-esx-datapath/lib64/pyth
