vCenter Server Appliance 7.0 U3i

[jfrobs]

Hello, 

VCenter Server Appliance 7.0 U3g is always the last support Vcenter version on the matrix guid interop....

vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3h and I3i is out...

Can we have some feedback from Hp on this ?

This latency between official validations is really a big weak point, I think it would be good to work on this communication really important for the security of the infrastructure.

Howdy jfrobs!

You are correct and VMware released vCenter Server Appliance 7.0 U3i on December 8th, 2022.   HPE has not yet qualified this version, but you are welcome to upgrade to this U3i version.    Here is a note from the interop guide: 

A customer may upgrade vCenter to an unlisted patch version only when the vCenter major and minor versions are already listed in this document. Unlisted major or minor version updates are not supported.  For 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.  Customer must accept that new/unlisted patch versions have not yet been qualified by HPE SimpliVity.

It is acceptable to upgrade to vCenter Server 7.0 U3i before we qualify and update the Interop Guide because vCenter Server 7.0 U3g is already supported. 

Cheers!

I know it's ok to upgrade but I'm just wondering if anyone has upgraded vcenter server to this version yet and if it caused any issues with Simplivity?

Thanks.
