Fun Friday: Will you be moving to VMware vSphere 7.x now?

Morning all,

Happy Friday!

As per @victorwu’s post, vSphere 7.0 U3c is now rereleased!

I’m not here to kick them when they’re down, but VMware didn’t have the best of times with vSphere 7.0, but after their divorce from Dell EMC and the subsequent pulling of vSphere 7.0U3c for quality concerns, will this release finally be worthy of the VMware name?

 

So, my question to you all. vSphere 6.5/6.7 are end of life later this year, so if you’re still on 6.5/6.7, will this release make you look at upgrading? Or are you still unsure and want to hold out until nearer the EOL?

 

Share your thoughts!

I’m currently being brave and upgrading my lab! 😬

I just tried the VC but the URL issue is happening so downloaded the ISO file to try.

So far so good.  VC updated and two hosts with the USB NIC Fling too.  All working well so far.

I’ve been reluctant to upgrade to 7 although I do have a couple clients out there with it. 

I will be deploying 7 on a new cluster in two days, but this is pre-U3c, so while I like to delay my updates a little bit, in this case, I’ll likely updated to 3c before putting these machines into production.

Thanks for sharing, okay follow up question:

 

Since vCenter 7.0 U3c is also available with the Log4j fixes, who’s ready to move to that?

Already moved to that and ESXi as well in my homelab now that I can update the USB NIC Fling.  So far running well with no issues. :smiley:
