ESXi 6.0 Cisco Custom ISO

[Kevin Williamson]

When is Cisco going to release ESXi 6.0 Custom ISO?  The 5.5 Update 2 ISO is out there. I looked on VMware's Website

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=ESXI600&productId=491&rPId=7929#custom_iso

and I don't see Cisco listed.   HP has released there's 3/30, NEC 4/6, Hitachi 4/12.

Hi Kevin,

Did you installed Esxi 6.0?

I need to install it on UCS C240 M3S2

Thanks.

Kevin, 

    It can be installed with no issues. Just make sure to have your Server's Firmware version to at least 2.0(3). Otherwise the ESXi 6 is not supported. 

Please check the compatibility matrix for any SW/HW supported combination

is custom version free or gives trial 60 days only ?

Custom ISO just means it comes with network/storage drivers to install the OS.

You still have to pay for a license.
