#DOWNLOAD VMWARE ESXI 6.7 U3 UPGRADE#
I will use the bundle to upgrade the standalone ESXi host and ISO to upgrade the nested ESXi hosts. For ESXi, I have downloaded both the ISO and the bundle.
It shows version supported is upto ESXi 6.5 U3īefore upgrading, I took the snapshot of vCenter Server Appliance and backup of ESxi host configuration. As I have mentioned in my earlier blog, always upgrade vCenter Server before uprading ESXi host. This is just for my reference as well to those who are still running the unsupported hardware. If you are upgrading your production environment, always check the VMware Compatibility guide for the following:ĭell PE R720 compatibility guide. I am curious to know if I can still upgrade to this newer version. I am able to upgrade to vSphere 7.0 without any issue. Here is a link to my lab. Now checking VMWare compatibility matrix, Dell PE R720 is not on a supported list for vSphere 7. Currently, I have no issue running vSphere 6.7 U3. I run ESXi on a single Dell R720 server and running nested ESXi hosts.
VSphere 7 went GA on Apand it is a major release. Posted in ESXi, IT, vCenter, VCSA, VMware, vSphere
