simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
As per the last interoperability guide the latest vcenter version supported for 6.7 is 6.7u3f .
The latest version available from vmware is, for 6.7, 6.7u3I
I heard that simplivity supports versions "inside " the same main release which in this case is 6.7U3, is that correct ?
Can I upgrade vcenter to 6.7U3I ?
thanks

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
Hi Stephano,
my understanding is no, you must use the specific build version as listed in the Interop Guide.

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
Hi Stephano,
My understanding is yes you can, and there is also an entry here:
Re: Support for vCenter patch for CVE-2020-3952 - Hewlett Packard Enterprise Community (hpe.com)
We updated to Version 6.7.0 build 17028632 (vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3l) some time ago, and we dont have any issues. quite the opposite its more snappier in my opinion and the Simplivity Plugins are loading much faster.
From InterOP Guide:
A customer may upgrade vCenter to an unlisted patch versiononly when the vCenter major and minor versions are already listed in this document. Unlisted major or minor version updates are not supported.oFor example, if vCenter Server 6.5 Update 3e is the latest supported 6.5 version in this document, and VMware releases patch version 6.5 Update 3g to fix a security issue, it is acceptable to upgrade to Update 3g before HPE updates the document.However, if VMware releases a new minor version 6.5 Update 4 and HPE has not yet added Update 4 to this document, a vCenter upgrade to 6.5 Update 4 would not be supported
Cheers
Peter

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
This answers a very frustrated ticket I opened with support last night. We need to be on at least 6.7u3g to support Ubuntu 20 template customizations, and couldn't believe that the latest supported version is 9 months old.
Thanks!

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
As mentioned you can update to the latest "minor" version , so you can update to 6.7u3g

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
Minor version updating is also risky.
Updating to vCenter Server Appliance 6.7 U3n
Will break vCenter plugin.
Waiting for HPE support to tell me what to do...

@MWinther
What version of SVT do you have installed and is the plug-in installed from that package?

Re: simplivity interoperability with vcenter version
4.0 and running the plugin from that version
I will try to download the 4.0.1 version and apply that to vcenter (uninstall 4.0 first)
