Yes, 9.1 ist considered an update to 9.0, but ... it introduces architectural changes and requires additional resources in the Management cluster (compared to 9.0). So, plan accordingly and read the upgrade guide completely and carefully: https://t.co/TjEjWwdav2

9.1 is considered an update to 9.0, come up to it to get lots of interesting stuff.

@lamw My fault (@ESXiPatches)😀... Well, you keep changing the version numbering scheme and confuse the hell out of every detection algorithm. ESXi 8.0.3 is Update 3, but 9.0.1 is *not* Update 1 🤷

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

#VMware by #Broadcom #ESXi 9.0 Update 1 is just being released. The RelNotes are not yet accessible.

@alagoutte @virten @ESXiPatches The Imageprofile names still include "ESXi". Well, I don't care really. If they're going to change the name then I would rather expect something like "VCF Hypervisor" ;-)

VMEscape vulnerabilities fixed in #VMware #ESXi 9.0, 8.0 (U3f and U2e) and 7.0 (U3w) / Thx to @hi_im_d4rkn3ss @OnlyTheDuck @Reverse_Tactics @MajorTomSec / Follow @ESXiPatches for immediate updates.

Had to check the date when I woke up ... but it looks like #FreeESXi is now back with the latest 8.0 Update 3e release! 😅 It comes w/an embedded license w/same functions as Free Edition but no need to request key, which is nice!

@XiaomiSupport Greetings, after updating my Pad 6 to HyperOS 2.0.1.0.UMZEUXM some streaming apps (e.g. Disney+) no longer work. "DRM Info" shows Widevine L1 certification, but with system ID 0. I already tried "Security Certificates Update" from CIT menu to no avail. How to fix?

@lamw Do you know if I can upgrade from v1.x to v2 with esxcli? Or only via ISO image boot?

A 9.9 CVE has been announced for Linux 👀 Remote code execution. No details yet. Heartbleed was 7.5, for reference. This is one of the worst in history. All GNU/Linux systems impacted.

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

@hypervisor_fr Yeah, thanks, guessed that. So, will go and create a DRS rule.

#vExpert query: Has anyone tried #vSphere port mirroring from VLAN to a VM's dvs port ("Remote Mirroring Destination")? Is this supposed to work across different hosts? And why would it not?
