iDrac firmware compatibility with hypervisor

Hello,

Writing this post as i'm a bit confused regarding iDrac firmware compatibility with hypervisor

We have M630 servers that we are planning to upgrade to latest ESXi version 7.0u3

On VMWare compatibility guide we can see that model is supported with 7.0u3

When checking iDrac release notes of latest supported version :

https://dl.dell.com/content/manual60854453-idrac8-with-lifecycle-controller-version-2-83-83-83-release-notes.pdf?language=en-us&ps=true

Supported managed server operating systems and
hypervisors
VMware
ESXi 6.5 U3
ESXi 6.7 U2
ESXi 6.7 U3
ESXi 7.0 U1





 

Is the document not up to date or should I stay on update 1 because of iDrac ..?

Hello Ed73,

 

The iDRAC is out of band so it really doesn't matter that the OS is 7.0 U3. It will work.

 

I would recommend to get our 7.0 U3 ISO for your upgrade:
