Update vCenter 6.7 appliance with SimpliVity plugin installed

[Sjoerd2106]

Hello all,

As you may know, VMware released an important fix for vCenter: https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2021-0002.html.

To fix, the issue you need to update the vCenter appliance 6.7 to version 6.7 U3L. This version is however,  not supported according to the OmniStack 4.0.1U1 Interoperability Guide (page 20): https://psnow.ext.hpe.com/doc/a00095520en_us

The latest supported appears to be vCenter Appliance 6.7 U3F, which is a version of somewhere last year.

But I wonder if upgrading to version 6.7 U3L really breaks the SimpliVity vCenter plugin? Version 4.01.444 is installed right now.

The patch for vCenter is so critical that it's quite important to update vCenter as quickly as possible.
