[VMware Issue]
Customers and Partners:
vSphere 7.0 U3 GA, U3a and U3b removed due to quality issues by VMware.
VMware is determining when the updated vSphere 7.0 U3 will be available.
The VMware vSphere and vSAN Compatibility Guides will continue to show vSphere U3 listings and we will add information about the current vSphere 7.0 U3 situation.
VMware provides the details in kb86398.
[Storage Issue]
If hot-add or hot remove an Intel NVMe drive on AMD system, ESXi will PSOD. This problem is caused by the intel-nvme-vmd driver packaged in the CI image and will be fixed by a future release of such driver.
To avoid PSOD when hot-plug Intel NVMe drives, following workaround should be applied before hot-add/hot-remove:
The first workaround(no need reboot):
Run the following command to disable intel-nvme-vmd module:
# esxcli system module set --enabled=false --module=intel-nvme-vmd
The second workaround(need reboot):
Run the following command to remove the intel-nvme-vmd from ESXi:
# esxcli software vib remove -n intel-nvme-vmd
Removal Result
