=Solve installation errors=

If you get errors during installation such as:

 [root@boss:/tmp] esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20191204001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
  [InstallationError]
  [Errno 28] No space left on device
        vibs = VMware_locker_tools-light_11.0.1.14773994-15160134
  Please refer to the log file for more details.

Then you can try to manually install the VIB by doing:

 esxcli software vib install -v https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/esx/vmw/vib20/tools-light/'''''<vibname from above>'''''.vib

for example:

 esxcli software vib install -v https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/esx/vmw/vib20/tools-light/VMware_locker_tools-light_11.0.1.14773994-15160134.vib

And then resume the full update
