      <description>&lt;P&gt;Seeing this as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;vCenter Server is on 7.0.3c (19234570)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Hosts are on 7.0.2a (17867351)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;ESXi 7.0.2a is not affected by the&amp;nbsp;i40en driver conflicts according to &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/86447" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/86447&lt;/A&gt; so it's probably unrelated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Update:&amp;nbsp;Seems like this problem is not new. I reverted vCenter back to 7.0.2d (18455184) which didn't fix it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I don't mind if the industry moves away from SD cards, but it could have been coordinated better. To be fair, I have now heard that VMware in 2018 did communicate to vendors that SD cards should not be used anymore. Imo two things should have happened that are very easy to implement: Vendors warn customers when configuring a server with SD cards, that it is not supported with ESXi 7 and the same on the ESXi 7 download page. It should have been stated in big red letters to not install it onto SD cards (page 12 of the installation guide isn't good enough imo).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just configured a Dell server with an IDSM and ESXi 7 to see what happens and Dell does not allow this configuration (anymore):&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2021-09-03 14_51_24-PowerEdge R740 Rack Server _ Dell USA.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90903i19668AD07D546194/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="2021-09-03 14_51_24-PowerEdge R740 Rack Server _ Dell USA.png" alt="2021-09-03 14_51_24-PowerEdge R740 Rack Server _ Dell USA.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I managed to get my hands on a BOSS card for one of our hosts and moved all the VMs to that host. That will hold me over. I feel bad for people with bigger environments where it's not an option to replace the boot device for dozens or hundreds of hosts.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

We write our logs to a SAN and didn't upgrade any VMWare tools and the problem still occurred. One of our hosts got hit immediately, with another one it took 2 months. If you haven't upgraded the VM hardware versions yet, I'd rollback: &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033604" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033604&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/62524"&gt;@LucianoPatrão&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;True, considering how many hosts there are in the wild with SD cards, at the very least there should be big red box on the download page advising not to upgrade when using SD cards. Better yet, there should 've been a hotfix ages ago. I think the only reason this hasn't received more attention yet is because most admins prefer to take things slowly and are probably still on 6.7.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;VMWare has added some new info to the article about this problem. They now recommend to move the locker partition as a resolution and specifically mention low and high endurance SD cards:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83376?lang=en_US" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83376?lang=en_US&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Patrick, the info about the cluster service VMs is unfortunately only anecdotal, I have seen multiple people point to this across the threads I've been following. Here's one comment from a Reddit thread: "&lt;EM&gt;In environments with HA the little heartbeat vms write a lot so it kills SD cards. Ask me how I know.....&lt;/EM&gt;"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/nn1src/careful_when_upgrading_to_702_if_you_have_your/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/nn1src/careful_when_upgrading_to_702_if_you_have_your/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

SSD, BOSS cards are also worn out!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Agreed. If this is expected behavior with ESXi 7, why is VMWare working on a patch? We have a small environment, we write our logs to our SAN, ESXi runs from ram, we use Dell branded SD cards. How much IO can there be to corrupt them? From what I've read the majority is from the clustering service (vCLS) VMs .&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Got the same info from my seller, 3 months lead time on BOSS cards. Since our servers are diskless, we'll have to setup boot from SAN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm still wondering though: Will SD cards be ok again with the newest patch or will it just slow down the problem. VMWare will hopefully make this clear.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Our second host just failed as well after ~2 months (Dell r740 with IDSM (Dell SD cards)). I now ordered a couple of BOSS cards since I can't keep waiting on a patch anymore.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

The Guide you reference also states on pg. 16 SD cards *can* be used. So maybe that should be removed. You all (VMware, that is) promoted SD cards back in the day so heavily, and rightfully so. They're awesome! The install was small (still is); SD is fast (generally); with the exception of no disk redundancy, it's a great way to run ESXi. So ok....VMW changes things up a bit for their boot partitions...fine. Tech changes. We technologists get that. But a LOT of orgs run ESXi on SDs. As such, this change should've been made very public suggesting orgs to work towards moving away from SDs; and if not, what the repercussions would be. Just allowing orgs/customers who use SDs have Hosts go down is pretty crappy...unless of course you all didn't do due diligence QA'ing and notice Hosts crashing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's also worth mentioning that Dell, while not recommending SD cards anymore, never stated that they're not supported anymore:&lt;BR /&gt;"The Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS) card is the preferred non-HDD or SSD device for VMware ESXi 7.0 installation. The Dell Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) install is no longer recommended due to write endurance issues with the SD flash media."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Source: &lt;A href="https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/de-de/vmware-esxi-7.x/vmware_esxi_7.0_gsg/getting-started-with-vmware-vsphere?guid=guid-c18ba369-c295-40ea-b289-f82b4cd5270a" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/de-de/vmware-esxi-7.x/vmware_esxi_7.0_gsg/getting-started-with-vmware-vsphere?guid=guid-c18ba369-c295-40ea-b289-f82b4cd5270a&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Turns out that the workaround did not fix it anyway,&amp;nbsp;I just upgraded directly as well which fixed it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@84D0B125ABBDD13E116082CCCBA171CD/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the info. I think I found the root cause for this btw:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://kallesplayground.wordpress.com/2020/10/28/esxi-7-0-1-looses-access-to-usb-sd-card/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://kallesplayground.wordpress.com/2020/10/28/esxi-7-0-1-looses-access-to-usb-sd-card/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/j92b40/fix_for_usb_booted_esxi_7_hosts_losing_access_to/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/j92b40/fix_for_usb_booted_esxi_7_hosts_losing_access_to/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The workaround is described here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2149444" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2149444&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;will report back if it worked.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Was going to try that as well. Can you please report if you can now apply new updates on top of this new build via lifecycle manager.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you guys check if you are able to update VMWare Tools for VMs on the affected hosts via vSphere. They're missing the ISOs on my end (as with the other problem, only the r740 hosts are affected, not the r740xd since the upgrade to 7.0u1)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;Unable to install VMware Tools. An error occurred while trying to access image file "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/linux.iso" needed to install VMware Tools: 2 (No such file or directory). Please refer the product documentation or KB article 2129825 for details about how to get VMware Tools package for this guest operating system.&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;[root@esx-a:~] ls /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/
ls: /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/: No such file or directory&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Same here. I successfully upgraded three hosts (2x Dell r740, 1x Dell r740xd) from ESXi 6.7 to 7u1. Now I am trying to apply the newest patches, which worked on the r740xd but on the r740 hosts I get this error:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;01/08/2021, 11:25:11 AM Could not stage image profile '(Updated) DEL-ESXi-701_16850804-A00': The transaction is not supported: File to be removed/installed is overlaid by existing VIB : /etc/vmware/support VIB VMware_bootbank_esx-base_7.0.1-0.20.17325020 cannot be live installed.
