ESX7 to 8 upgrade on Cisco UCS

KrzysztofZalesk — Wed, 31 May 2023 08:04:52 GMT

Hello,

I have got ESX7 installed on Cisco UCS from Cisco custom ISO. Since there is no ESX8 custom ISO available yet, I was wondering if I perform upgrade using regular ESX8 ISO, will there be any issues with Cisco VIC adapters? Will ESX8 keep Cisco VIC drivers from ESX7 installation?

Cheers,

Krzysztof

Hi,

i can see a custom iso - its just 8.0 with no update 1 - hope the link will work for you.

i would install enic and fnic drivers via LCM Addons.
