Hi Team,

We have recently upgraded our VM servers from version 5.5 to version 6.7
After the upgrade on all VM servers
Networking for VMHost and VM Status for VMHost these service went to critical with error message as
"ESX3 CRITICAL - Can't load class 'HostSerialAttachedHba' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VIMRuntime.pm line 52"
Suggest what can be done?

Thanks & Regards,

We run the command with help of doc provided in link, but we encountered below error :

[root@OSLMSnagios vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl EULA_AGREED=yes --default
A previous installation of vSphere CLI has been detected.

The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 4).

Keeping the tar4 installer database format.
