Starting from version 1.11, it is compatible with ESXi 8.0.ĮSXi 8.0 is also the last version to allow installation of the hypervisor on a USB stick or SD card. In ESXi 8.0, this Community Networking Driver is now part of the product.Īnother network driver for USB NICs, which was also intended for non-production use, remains available as Fling. This had to be integrated into the installation media as a VIB. VMware did not support them in the past but allowed their use by providing a so-called Fling.
In lab environments, network adapters from Intel with e1000, I220, I221, I225, and I226 chipsets are quite popular. However, VMware will not support such a configuration. According to the VMware Compatibility Guide, the requirements for version 8.0 are identical to those for ESXi 7.0 Update 3.Īs with its predecessor, you can add the boot option allowLegac圜PU=trueĭuring setup (press SHIFT+O), and the hypervisor will be installed on older systems, for example, for a home lab. Hardware requirementsĮSXi 7.0 excludes a number of older CPUs and supports the latest generations of processors this also applies to the newest incarnation. The only differences are in the number of possible iSCSI paths (up from 128 to 2048) and RDMA NVMe namespaces, which have increased from 32 to 256 per server. ESXi 8.0 and its predecessor have the same maximum values in almost all areas
