Support of image based vSphere Lifecycle Manager and vSphere 9

[ICPMuenchen]

Hey there,

because the old baseline based lifecycle manager is deprecated for some time now, i was wondering when simplivity will support the new image basesd lifecycle manager? Are there any plans when this will be supported? Are there also any infos available when vSphere 9 will be available/supported?

Regards

Peter

(Are there any plans when this will be supported?)

Please confirm if you mean by HPE or vmWare/Broadcom? 

(i was wondering when simplivity will support the new image basesd lifecycle manager?)

As a SimpliVity support rep vmWare/Broadcom applications are supported by their team for the most part unless the specifically bought vmWare support though HPE. 

(Are there also any infos available when vSphere 9 will be available/supported?)

Available as of: "VMware vSphere 9, along with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, was released on June 17, 2025."

Please verify your questions related to "support" of vmWare/Broadcom applicaitons for me to further assist.

@Joshua610,
Of course i was asking when HPE / Simplivity will support the image based lifecycle management for patching simplivty hosts with vmware updates.

Is there a roadmap when vSphere 9 will show up for HPE Simplivity?

It appears that this will occur during the next SimpliVity release which will be around the end of the year and or beginning of next year (focusing mainly on the VME release).
