Hello,
I was going to do the upgrade using "VMware-ESXi-7.0.1.-16850804-LNV-20200917.iso" . I asked the support if that will solve the following Vulns:
CVE-2021-21972, CVE-2021-21973, CVE-2021-21974
He said for that, I need to use "ESXi 7.0 Update 1d ISO Build 17551050". I tried to find it or any thing related to this release for lenovo but no luck.
I appreciate any help to download this custom image.
Thanks.
Most vendors usually provide customized ESXi images for main/update releases only, or once vendor specific components need to be updated.
According to what you found, you'd need to upgrade the host using the vendor customized image, and then apply the latest VMware patches either through Update-Manager/Life-Cycle-Controller, or manually.
That said, please make sure that the ESXi version/build that you want to upgrade to supports your hardware! You may also want to check whether firmware/BIOS upgrades are required/recommended.

Hello.
You can first use the Lenovo Update 1 version and then apply the patches to get to Update 1d (VMware), I attach the links where to get the patches.

It is very important to verify that all hardware is compatible with version 7.X to avoid complications.

Thank you e_espinel,
So after upgrading first using "VMware-ESXi-7.0.1.-16850804-LNV-20200917.iso", I need to do the same steps to apply "VMware-ESXi-7.0U1d-17551050-depot" ?
another thing, I did really come with compatibility problems with some VIBs:
scsi-bfa_3.2.5.0-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
net-qlge_3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
net-qlge_3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
net-bna_3.2.5.0-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
net-bna_3.2.5.0-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
scsi-mpt3sas_08.00.01.00.1vmw-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
scsi-mpt3sas_08.00.01.00.1vmw-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
scsi-bfa_3.2.5.0-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
some postes say that I can remove them and proceed. is that safe to do and continue normally?
Thanks You!
