Installing 6.7 ESXI on Dell T410

[saint02]

I have been running 5.5 ESXI for a while now and looking ot jump to 6.7 on the same server Dell T410.  Has anyone had any success in doing this?  It's for a home lab.

Hi,

Dell T410 ESXi 6.7 does not support. You can install, but you can't get official support. If you use it in a test environment, of course you can. However, I do not recommend using in production environments. You can also check the following link for supported hardware.

VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search

Thanks.

Hi,

is no longer supported but works. The only drawback is that you cannot take advantage of any kind of support. Being a domestic laboratory environment, I imagine for educational purposes, I would say it's worth it.

Installation of ESXi 6.X for Dell T410 is no longer supported:

No you cant install 6.7. It have nothing to do about "supported" environment or not .  Your T410 use Nehalem or Westmare which mean Intel XEON 55xx or 56xx. VMware removed the support for these CPU types from ESXi 6.7.   I have heard some rumors that you can solved that with a inplace upgrade but when you perform a fresh install with the VMware or Dell ISO than the installer stops working and complained about the CPU types.

Official last version for your T410 is ESXi 6.0.x.   But we also run 6.5.x on it.
