Install ESXi 6.7 on CISCO UCSX-210C-M7

[hugo11]

Hello all, I know this is not a supported configuration but has anyone successfully installed ESXi 6.7 on UCSX-210C-M7?

Thank you,

Hugo

I have not. Are you aware that ESXi 6.7 is also End of Life and should not be used any more?

Dear Karsten,

Thank you for this. Yes, I am aware of this but I have a specific need to continue using this specific version and my infrastructure is only M7…

Can you provide more info? What prevents you from Installing ESXI 7.0? What version is your vCenter Server?

With EVC mode on the cluster you can bring the M7s into an M5 (for example cluster).

UCS M7 servers use Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs.

VMware 8.0 is required for Sapphire Rapids support.

Completely unsupported.

Might work. Might not work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
