Download VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 6.5 - ESXi ISO Image and VMware Tools CD Image
All versions of the ESXi product prior to version 7.0 are no longer supported, some well beyond the stage defined as "technical guidance", therefore, if you had not purchased a license, you are not entitled to download the product or its updates today. I'm sorry if by chance I wasn't very clear but the substance of things doesn't change.

If you go to the downloads page, use the combo box to change the major version. Currently available are 8.0, 7.0, 6.7, and 6.5. Then you can select the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) downloads page. From there you can select the minor version you want to download.
"Customers who have purchased VMware vSphere 6.5 can download their relevant installation package from the product download tab below. Looking to upgrade from vSphere 5.x or vSphere 6.0? Visit the VMware vSphere Upgrade Center."
I will try to put it in these terms and maybe I'm wrong, all admitted but not granted, going here: _products and choosing "end of life product" having an "entitelment", the customer can download the vSphere (or other product) components it might need. In my case I can "go down" till ESXi5.1 for others it may be different.
You can update ESXi hosts by manually downloading the patch ZIP file from the VMware download page and installing the VIBs by using the esxcli software vib update command. Additionally, you can update the system by using the image profile and the esxcli software profile update command.
If IPv6 is not enabled in your environment, the sfcb-vmware_base process might leak memory while enumerating instances of the CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint class. As a result, the process might eventually core dump with an error such as: tool_mm_realloc_or_die: memory re-allocation failed(orig=400000 new=800000 msg=Cannot allocate memory, aborting.
If a virtual machine restarts or resets during a hot-plug operation, logs in the vmware.log file of the virtual machine might fill up the available disk space and make the virtual machine unresponsive. The logs are identical: acpiNotifyQueue: Spurious ACPI event completion, data 0xFFFFFFFF.
If you restore backup after more than 7 days, storage device settings, such as Is perennially reserved, might be lost. This happens because the last seen timestamps of devices also get backed up and if the device has not been active for more than 7 days, device entries from /etc/vmware/esx.conf are deleted. As a result, the restore operation might restore older timestamps.

If you're building new, you'll certainly want to use the new hypervisor, since the serious NETDEV WATCHDOG issue KB 2124669 that sometimes causes ESXi to hang is resolved. This article is about getting the fresh downloads going for your "greenfield" installs. If you don't have a commercial license, and are instead using a trial, free, or EVALExperience, you won't be able to grab the 6.0 Update 1a ISO directly.
[Oct 30 2015 Update]What I learned today is that you can contact VMware by email at vi-hotline@vmware.com to inquire about obtaining the ESXi 6.0 Update 1a ISO namedVMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update01-3073146.x86_64.isothey'll open a Service Request (SR#), and may be able to help you with a WebEx and get you that file earlier, much as they did for me, for free, under SR#15788958810. Or you can wait 60 or more days for VMware to allow anybody with any My VMware acount to access and download this file. I have given VMware constructive and thorough feedback about how silly this is. The old trick of signing up for a new My VMware account under a differerent email address doesn't help for getting 6.0 Update 1a either. I think you opening a ticket via email is likely the best approach, since VMware will then better understand/track the impact of this 60+ day delay. But if you just want to get your existing 6.0 updated to 1a right now, worry not, got you covered, simply skip to section 1B below.
I have just the detailed article for you, right here at TinkerTry! In summary, it explains that you may be able to use the Download Trial option, followed by the "View My Evaluations" option. If that doesn't work out because of a "Your evaluation has expired. 0 days remaining on your evaluation" then don't lose heart, just logoff. Then register for a trial under a different, new My VMware account, choosing VMware vSphere." Now you can download VCSA and install. Later on, you apply your EVALExperience license that's suited for home lab users. I know, it's a mess, I apologize for VMware, even though I have absolutely no authority to do so ;-)
Oct 22 2015 09:45am EDT - My apologies for the errors in my intitial version of this article, the links and screenshots are being fixed, but right now, VMware seems to be having issues with taking new registrations for free trials. I'm unable to download ESXi 6.0 Update 1a myself, even under a brand-new MY VMware account.
Oct 28 2015 9:18pm EDT - VMware has stated they've fixed the server-side issues pictured above. However, they've also verified that EVALExperience license keys cannot be registered, thus, 6.0 Update 1a won't be available as an ISO to download. That's only for Commercial License holders. So installing ESXi 6.0 Update 1 off the ISO is the way to go, upgrading to 6.0 Update 1a later on using the esxcli method I outlined above.
Installation of the VMRC VIBs is optional and intended to facilitatedownloading VMRC in situations where access to VMware.com is not possible. TheVIBs are installed into the /locker partition of your host's locally attacheddisk. This partition has limited space, and so care should be taken to ensurethat sufficient space is available. Each VIB is roughly 20 MB in size.
