Issue ID Functional area Description Workaround
148591 Upgrading an earlier version of ESXi to ESXi 7.x Upgrading an earlier version of ESXi to ESXi 7.x fails with iSM VIB installed. In VMware vSphere 7.0, 32-bit userworld support is deprecated. For more information, see the Deprecation of 32-bit Userworld Support section in VMware vSphere 7.0 Release Notes and Known issues section in VMware vSphere 7.x on Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Release Notes. Before upgrading an earlier version of ESXi to ESXi 7.0, uninstall the 32-bit iSM VIB corresponding to iSM v3.5.0 or earlier on the hypervisor.

On VMWare ESXi 7.x operating system, use the Invoke-iDRACHardReset command line utility to perform the iDRAC Hardreset operation.
