You have to raise a case with VMware with crash dump to check if the issue is same as given in the KB article, once they confirm they will cross port the fix for 6.7 and provide patches accordingly.

Hello, I am affaraid it's not fixed.

Look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/9mpqrz/psa_dont_upgrade_to_esxi_67_if_you_are_using_vsr/

I'm waiting for official statement from support, but it looks like we have to downgrade/reinstall to 6.5U2.

It's a shame for VMware...
