I ran into the same problem with that component. But I WANT to update that component but that image builder says: "Downgrades of manually added Components HPE Upgrade Component(900.0.2-1) in the desired Addon HPE-Custom-AddOn are not supported." The installed component is older then the selected new one because it is for ESXi7 and the new one is the newest for ESXi8. So I can not upgrade those ESXi from v7 to v8 because I am "downgrading" that hpe-upgrade-component. I do not know what that image builder is looking for but I assume it is the component name. Any ideas how to get that new component accepted?

Hello I have no vSAN knowledge yet. So please be patient with me. My question is if it would be possible to build a vSAN cluster based on the current vSphere 8 infrastructure we are running? The ESXi do not have internal disks but they are attached to all-flash storage via fibre channel. Thank you for advice.

Hello Im building a new image in that utterly suboptimal image builder ui of the vcenter (8u1b). If I validate the new image I get the warning that some manually added components would be downgraded to older versions. How do I prevent the downgrade? What and where do I have to do something? Thank you for your help. @admins: if my question is in the wrong part of the forum please move it

software raid for the data raid is not supported. you can use vroc only for the os/boot partition with raid 1. https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/AOC-VROCxxxMOD_VMware_ESXi.pdf

License counts per deployed virtual machine regardless of the power state of the virtual machines. 25 means 25. If you are unshure about the licensing terms&conditions you can always have it confirmed by the official vmware support. Just open a non-technical support request. They will also provide the current EULAs for the product to you. https://customerconnect.vmware.com/support

I think you are trying to configure the fc hba from the BIOS of the VM. That is afaik not possible. If you need to configure something in the fc hba bios you have to enter the fc hba bios from the host during boot of the host. OR Could also be an option. If the card shows up as device in the os of the vm install the matching drivers / tools of the vendor and mostly there is also a tool provided that lets you change the settings for the fc hba bios of the card via command line from the vm os. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-B4B26AF0-B573-4C17-92C1-E0820A959DF5.html https://www.marvell.com/products/fibre-channel-adapters-and-controllers.html

Hi there Is that URL still in use by HPE? https://vibsdepot.hpe.com/index-drv.xml If I add that URL to the lifecycle manager it seems nothing is downloaded and the "sync updates" process runs until it stops with error.

Hi there Is it still possible to install an ESXi on a host with a legacy cpu? (I have done it before when Version 6.x or so was current...) In my case I would like to try the ESXi 8u1a on a ESXi currently running the latest 7u3m whose cpu is not official longer supported on 8u1a. I think I did it as described in that blog article: https://thevcave.com/2020/09/09/installing-esxi-7-with-legacy-cpus/ Has anyone done that yet? Thank you guys

Hello I am configuring a passthrough GPU in one ESXi. I followed that guide here: https://blogs.vmware.com/apps/2018/09/using-gpus-with-virtual-machines-on-vsphere-part-2-vmdirectpath-i-o.html But there is one question. Do I need to set the Host Graphic Settings set to Shared or Shared Direct if I use the passthrough GPU? The blog article mentioned that setting only in the vGPU part. Thanks for input. Regards

Hello guys I need your knowledge. First of all some stats: ESXi and vCenter are running the latest version 7. The ESXi is a 2 Socket machine; 14 pCores per Socket and has 768GB RAM (384GB per Socket). This should result in 2 NUMA nodes, each 14 pCPU (48 vCPU) and 384GB RAM. Am I correct? My virtual Machine is a Server 2019, 12 CPU and 24GB RAM. Configured as 1 Socket 12 CPU in vSphere. I am wondering now that the ressource montior of Server 2019 shows 2 NUMA nodes with 6CPU each. And and it seems that only the 6CPUs NUMA node 0 running at 100& CPU and the CPUs of NUMA node 1 are almost at idle. Why is that? Should'nt the VM be placed by the ESXi into one NUMA Node? CPU wise and RAM wise it should fit. Is it the MS OS that splits the CPUs to 2 NUMA nodes? Thanks for your opinion
hi @actyler1001 are the esxi really not ntp synced and do not sync any longer or does only the UI show them for what ever reason as "not synced"? regards
