Good day nutanix community

 

A customer it´s going to upgrade his cluster from ESXi 7.0.3 to 7.0 U3l BUT, in the Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix there is no information about this ESXi Version so, it´s is supported this ESXi?

 

Current AOS version 5.20.4.6 LTS and in the LCM it´s available the update  6.5.3.6 LTS

Model NX-8035-G8

Hi Ulises,

 

ESXi 7 is supported, but to the best of my knowledge 8 is not yet supported. You can install the base image for 7 and then use VMWare Update Manager to upgrade to 7.0. U3I safely/successfully. Just be sure to put your hosts into maintenance mode via Prism instead of just using ESXi in order to stop processes and put CVMs into maintenance mode successfully.

Hi,

 

Please refer to KB 3123 for hypervisor support policy, once major versions are qualified, maintenance or patch version are supported if cannot wait for qualifications of them.

With ESXI 7.0U3 specifically there has been known issues which is alleviated in ESXi 7.0U3n
