I know 8.0U3e was just released and added to the Interop Guide.  Is there an ETA for when U3f will be approved for install to cover the latest security patch?

Thanks.

The SimpliVity ESX 8.0 U3f custom offline bundle will be coming in early Sept.   Until then, you can source the patch directly from Broadcom and install the patch via esxcli.   The Interop Guide will be updated when the bundle is released.  Until then, you can manually install the patch and continue to receive support from HPE SimpliVity.   

Cheers!

Thanks Kipp.  Can we expect that moving forward that we are good to install ESXi security patches (not major version upgrades) and still be in compliance with support even though it's not in the InterOp guide?

I know it's stated that way for vcenter server but thought ESXi was different.

Appreciate it!

We are looking into this.  Stay tuned
