Hi all,
I have R810 and R610 servers. The servers have been installed with vSphere 5.5.
I would like to have them upgraded to vSphere 6.5, but I see that the servers are no longer listed as compatible with vSphere 6.5.
How is this possible? My servers are just 6 years old, is it unreasonable for me to expect to be able to upgrade them to the latest (and greatest) version of vSphere?
Is there any reason why DELL or VMware would choose to not certify these servers any more?
Yes I have tried to boot and upgrade my servers with the Dell Customized ISO, and yes I have seen the warning that the processors will not be supported in FUTURE releases of vSphere but they are supported in 6.5!!!
And yes DELL did choose to equip my servers with the dead end QLE220 HBAs, but I have managed to work around that (see my other discussions).
I would like to hear from anybody that might have insight into the matter.
