I would recommend we check in Release Notes first before proceeding with the Upgrade.

Waiting for the Release Notes to be published.

Hello

I couldn't find any docs that specify the support  for esxi 6.7U3 , only 6.7U2 so far , so I wonder if anyone has different info

12.8 RN does not add any support information regarding ESXI 6.7U3 .

SPOCK still mention only 6.7U2

Can anyone point me to updated docs , if any ?

FYI: I have applied 

Gen10 Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) Version 2019.12.0

And the very latest vSphere ESXi 6.7 Build with latest VSA & all are good

Hi FYI 

I have done the upgrade of all my VSA hosts to latest HPE VMW 7.0 & all are working without any issue 

Remember this is an upgrade of latest VSA hosts from VMW 6.7 to 7.0 HPE custom image 

It's a shame HPE is killing VSA & someone should buy VSA/SAN/IQ from HPE LOL - It's a rock solid product 

Have a good day

Thank you for the update.

The latest HPE SPOCK does not mention about the ESXi 7.0 yet.

I do understand. HPE StoreVirtual VSA is one of the best products. 

Have a good day.
