#Vmware esxi 6.7 host graphics settings Patch#
I hope the next patch release fixes this issue, which I've also posted to the VMTN forum. Strangely enough, over 500 folks have seen that video already, so unfortunately, I suspect I'm not along with my issue. Meanwhile, after a few dozen attempts and reboots, I found a workaround that I published a video of back on April 9 of 2020, and now this article will hopefully help others as well. I tried! I'll explain all that in another article soon. When a new dot zero release like vSphere 7.0 came out on April 2nd, and isn't on the VMware Compatibility Guide, at least not yet, opening a per-incident ticket isn't an option. Note that I currently have no valid way of reporting such bugs to VMware, still working on that.
If you found a better way around this, by all means drop a comment below to let us all know! It's not permanent though, you have to do this after every ESXi host reboot.
Gladly, I found a work-around for my new ESX 7.0, warning, it's pretty wonky, but quick-and-easy. This was nerve-wracking, as I had work the next morning and had to figure out a way to get things square again, without resorting to falling back to 6.7U3, and/or reverting to backups of 1.8TB of data.
Then I noticed the reason, it turns out my passthrough settings weren't persisting through reboots.

After a reboot of my ESXi host, I noticed my Windows 10 VM wouldn't boot up. I went all-in with my ESXi 7.0 upgrade, so in my most crucial (but back-up protected) Windows 10 VM, I also upgraded my virtual hardware to version 17, and updated my VMware tools as well.

As of Nov 18 2020, sadly, this workaround is still needed with the latest ESXi 7.0 Update 1a. If you established a configuration policy in your environment to always disable IPv6 on ESXi for that reason, you are likely to have done it for 6.5 as well.īoth of these KBs are reported in Runecast Analyzer.Posted by Paul Braren on (updated on Nov 18 2020) inĪ new and improved workaround is available as of Jun 18 2020, details below. This one affects ESXi 5.5 before Patch 4 and subsequently you would be at risk of a PSOD if you have IPv6 enabled. There is a VMware KB article 2108130 that actually recommends disabling IPv6. There are not many reasons for disabling IPv6 on ESXi, but I would add one more. Andrea Mauro, ESXi Networking - Disable IPv6? Several people are disabling IPv6 support in ESXi for different reasons: because of the minimum privilege principle (if you are not using a service, why you have to keep it enabled?) or simple because they don’t want any IPv6 address in the network. Why would you disable IPv6 on ESXi? As a fellow VCDX and blogger Andrea Mauro suggested, there may be different reasons: ESXi 6.7 was also added later on.Īs IPv6 has gradually gained popularity, VMware decided to enable it in the default host configuration (since ESXi 5.1). Note: For a certain period in July 2018, VMware claimed in the KB that the issue was resolved in ESXi 6.5 Update 1, however they retracted this message soon after. The initial version of this KB stated only ESXi 6.5 as affected version. Note: During May-June 2019, VMware claimed in the KB that the issue was resolved in ESXi 6.5 P03 and ESXi 6.7 U2. Workaround: Enable IPv6 on the affected hosts
The KB also includes a detailed example of a backtrace you may see if your ESXi host fails for this reason. VMware recently updated KB2150794 "ESXi 6.5 host fails with PSOD when IPV6 is disabled" with the latest information about this problem. If you are running ESXi 6.5 or 6.7 with IPv6 disabled, you are at risk of a host failure with PSOD.
