Note: Windows machines work fine after the changes, even when imported to 6.7 still. Save it and upload it to your VM folder and confirm replacement of your old one (save the old vmx if you like).

General Support ends in March of this year. I would be more inclined to recommend rebuilding the hosts with the HP specific image for 6.5 and see if that helps. I am backing up the VMs with 2 solutions: Nakivo Backup and Replication, and Synology Active Business Backup. I only noticed this later after i deployed my VMs. I think is because HP didnt include the drivers for it on this ESXi version. What kinds of problems are you having with these VMs How were they created on this 6.7 Host, were they migrated up Jason. I mean it doesnt help much that your ESXi survives while all the production virtual machines are encrypted. This means ESXi will not be hit by ransomware if it happens to be.īut in most cases, ESXi is just a hypervisor that can be reinstalled within minutes unlike the data inside your Windows-based virtual machines. So you might as well start using ESXi now and getting used to it. If you buy a license you can use either ESXi or ESX, doesnt matter. This is essentially a scaled down Red Hat distro that allows you to run some PERL scripts and do other Linuxie stuff. ESXi 6.7 Uses VMFS6 and ESXi 6.0 uses 5.81, your ESXi 6.0 wont be able to access the newer versions, so youll need to wipe them too.
