VMware vSphere 6.5.x on Dell EMC PowerEdge Systems Release Notes
Hardware Health status reports the raw reading instead of the computed reading of IPMI Sensors
- Description:
- In ESXi vCenter Server or Webclient, the Host Hardware status information reports the raw reading of the sensors rather than the computed reading.
- Applies to:
- ESXi 6.5.x and 14th generation PowerEdge servers
- Solution:
