update from 5.1 to 5.5 with custom net-bnx2 vibs causing failures

 

Hello, I need some help with host patching via VUM.  I am trying to go from 5.1 to 5.5 but the hosts all have net-bnx2 (and 4 others) vib’s from qlogic instead of the default vmware vib’s:

 

 

misc-cnic-register           1.712.10.v50.2-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 QLogic  VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

net-bnx2                       2.2.5g.v50.2-1OEM.500.0.0.472560    QLogic VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

net-bnx2x             2.712.10.v50.3-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 QLogic  VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

net-cnic           2.712.10.v50.3-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 QLogic  VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

scsi-bnx2fc             1.712.10.v50.2-1OEM.500.0.0.469512 QLogic  VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

scsi-bnx2i                     2.712.10.v50.4-1OEM.500.0.0.472560  QLogic VMwareCertified   2015-09-02

 

 

 

when I try to update it fails because of these vib’s and removing the vib results in absolutely no available nic’s on the host which is annoying.  How do I reset the vibs back to the original versions that were on the host when it was first loaded without reloading the hosts?

 

net-be2net          4.1.255.11-1vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware  VMwareCertified   2013-07-21

net-bnx2x            1.61.15.v50.3-1vmw.510.0.11.1063671 VMware  VMwareCertified   2013-07-21

 

net-cnic             1.10.2j.v50.7-3vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware  VMwareCertified   2013-07-21

 

scsi-bnx2i                   1.9.1d.v50.1-5vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware  VMwareCertified   2013-07-21

 

if I try to make a host extension in VUM the qlogic vims are the only ones available

 

Alternatively is there a way to use VUM to force the install regardless of the qlogic vibs?
