Producent oprogramowania do wirtualizacji Vmware udostępnił najnowszą wersją dla rodziny 7.0 o numerze wersji 3m. Dzięki aktualizacji, zostały rozwiązane problemy z wydajnością migawek wirtualnych maszyn, co przyspieszy proces tworzenia i przywracania migawek. Od wersji 7.0.3 m dodano wsparcie dla najnowszych procesorów Intel Xeon Scalable i AMD EPYC. Ponadto, aktualizacja zmniejszyła zużycie pamięci przez procesy hosta ESXi, co zwiększy wydajność i stabilność systemu. Po więcej informacji zapraszam do dalszej części artykułu.

ESXi_7.0.3-0.90.21686933

This patch updates the esx-base VIB. Due to their dependency with the esx-base VIB, the following VIBs are updated with build number and patch version changes, but deliver no fixes: gc, esx-dvfilter-generic-fastpath, native-misc-drivers, bmcal, esx-xserver, vsanhealth, vdfs, cpu-microcode, vsan, esxio-combiner, crx, and trx. This patch resolves the following issue:

• PR 3164897: After an upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 3l, some ESXi hosts and virtual machines connected to virtual switches might lose networkAfter an upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 3l, some ESXi hosts, their VMs, and other VMkernel ports, such as ports used by vSAN and vSphere Replication, which are connected to virtual switches, might lose connectivity due to an unexpected change in the NIC teaming policy. For example, the teaming policy on a portgroup might change to Route Based on Originating Virtual Port from Route Based on IP Hash. As a result, such a portgroup might lose network connectivity and some ESXi hosts and their VMs become inaccessible.

  This issue is resolved in this release.

esx-update_7.0.3-0.90.21686933

Due to their dependency with the esx-base VIB, the following VIBs are updated with build number and patch version changes, but deliver no fixes: loadesx and esx-update.

Broadcom-ntg3_4.1.9.0-5vmw.703.0.90.21686933

Updates the ntg3 VIB to resolve the following issue:

• PR 3182870: After upgrading the ntg3 driver to version 4.1.9.0-4vmw, Broadcom NICs with fiber physical connectivity might lose networkChanges in the ntg3 driver version 4.1.9.0-4vmw might cause link issues for the fiber physical layer and connectivity on some NICs, such as Broadcom 1Gb, fails to come up.

  This issue is resolved in this release. ESXi 7.0 Update 3m provides ntg3 driver version 4.1.9.0-5vmw. The fix also adds a module parameter, fifoElastic, which you can enable in case of jumbo frame drops in certain Dell switches. To enable the parameter, use the following command:
  esxcli system module parameters set -p 'fifoElastic=1' -m ntg3
