updating from esxi 6.7.0 to esxi 7.0u1

in my home lab, i'm running esxi 6.7.0-8169922 (free license). i'm leaning to updating to esxi 7.0u1.

do i need to update esxi 6.7.0 to esxi 6.7 Update3 first or can i update from 6.7 to 7.0u1 ?

and if i need to update to "update 3" first, let me ask, the updates are cumulative, yes? that is when i use the esxi command line, "esxcli software profile update -d", i can choose the latest version versus say any of the listed 6.7.0-3.xxxx versions?  i ask b/c of the listed versions here, https://esxi-patches.v-front.de/ESXi-6.7.0.html .

Hi @uyozTic ,

Please have a look at the following VMware Product Interoperability Matrices Upgrade Path planner. 

https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php#upgrade&solution=1 

This will show you you can upgrade to vSphere 7.0 U1 from 6.7 GA (Which you are running). So you should be fine on that part.

In regards to your other question. Updates are always cumulative. If you click the Release Notes on the page you mentioned for a selected Image Profile it will state:

Rollup Bulletin

This rollup bulletin contains the latest VIBs with all the fixes since the initial release of ESXi 6.7.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
