Some were lucky enough to upgrade their current installs to 7 with no or limited problems, however the general consensus online was to expect problems. For the most part, as long as the hardware itself was supported, you were in pretty good shape.Īdditionally, with the HPE vibsdepot loaded in to VMware Update Manager (now known as Lifecycle Manager), you could also keep all the HPE drivers and agents up to date. The jump from 6.5 to 6.7 was a little easier, as you could use the 6.5 custom installer, and then upgrade to 6.7. Update: Check out my post covering ESXi 8.0 on HPE Proliant D元60p Gen8 servers! ESXi 6.7 or higher on the Gen8 Servers This was the “last Pre-Gen9 custom image” released, as ESXi 7.0 on the D元60p Gen8 is totally unsupported. With VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7 going End of Life on October 15th, 2022, many of you are looking for options to update hosts in your homelab, especially in my case putting ESXi 7.0 on HP Proliant D元60p Gen8 servers.Īs far as support goes, HPE last provided a custom installer for ESXi for versions 6.5 U3 which was released December of 2019.
