VMware Compatibility Guide Compliance
Lenovo and our partners certify servers and devices comply with VMware‘s compatibility requirements.In most cases, certified configurations require installation of drivers and firmware as a match pair. The tables below provide downloadlinks to obtain drivers and firmware as well as links to VMware‘s Compatibility Guide. Download links also provide access to driver/firmwarerelease and change histroy information

ThinkSystem SR675 V3 Server VMware Compatibility Cerification:


CPU Series: Notes:
  • This page lists the specific configurations for which the server vendor has submitted certification test results to VMware, including BIOS version.

    These are not the only supported or recommended configurations. Best practice is generally to use the latest BIOS version available for the server, even if it is newer than listed here. For further details about BIOS, server product configurations, and best practices, please contact the server vendor.
  • Modern CPUs are capable of supporting SMP-FT. To check the capability of a specific CPU, visit https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=cpu. vSphere 8.0 certified servers can support SMP-FT. Refer to VMware Docs for Fault Tolerance requirements, limits, and licensing.
