    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade the lab from 6.5 to 7 before I do it for real.&amp;nbsp; Only problem is that my HPe Gen8 hardware isn't on the vSphere 7 compatibility list, so I may run into some fun.&amp;nbsp; So far I have confirmed the CPUs in my lab servers are still supported on vSphere 7.&amp;nbsp; I'm wondering if I should still use the HPe custom image ISO to run the upgrade or should I just use the generic ISO from VMware ?&amp;nbsp; I am thinking the vSphere 7 custom image for HPe will likely install drivers and software that simply isn't supported.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VMware_ESXi_7.0.0_16324942_HPE_700.0.0.10.5.5.46_Jun2020.iso&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&amp;nbsp; You know I can't recall how the servers were originally built.&amp;nbsp; I am sure I used the HPe custom ISO.&amp;nbsp; What's a good way to confirm, just do a vib list and review?&amp;nbsp; If HPe VIBs are present, the custom ISO was likely used?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;**Disregard, I can see in the configuration section of vCenter it tells me...&amp;nbsp; HPE-ESXi-6.5.0-Update2-iso-Gen9plus-650.U2.10.3.5.5.&amp;nbsp; Now why I used the Gen9plus ISO for a gen 8 server, not sure.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Adam Tyler&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I originally installed my 6.5 using the HPE ISO - I upgraded them with the 7.0.3 HPE ISO and didn't have any problem (so far).&amp;nbsp; I would add that before upgrading to 7.x I had upgraded to 6.7 and while it worked, I did have an issue from time to time in which the NIC driver for the mezzanine adapters would go offline - the integrated NICs would still work, so all I really lost was redundancy - but so far I have not had that happen with the 7.0.3 system I upgraded.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
