VMware vSphere 8.x on Dell PowerEdge Systems Quick Boot Compatibility Guide

PDF

Overview

The vSphere quick boot feature enables a faster upgrade process for an ESXi server. The quick boot feature in vSphere 6.7 was first enabled on a selected list of PowerEdge servers. The same support is now expanded to vSphere 8.x. This compatibility guide provides an overview of configuration requirements to enable vSphere quick boot on the Dell PowerEdge servers.

The quick boot requires a combination of platform, I/O devices, device driver, and its corresponding firmware. This compatibility guide also outlines the support for quick boot, I/O devices and firmware for various generations of PowerEdge servers required to support the vSphere 8.x quick boot feature. The platform and I/O device details listed are in addition to the baseline hardware and driver verification performed by ESXi as part of the quick boot compatibility check.

To verify if a server configuration meets the quick boot baseline requirements of ESXi, run the following command from the ESXi console:
/usr/lib/vmware/loadesx/bin/loadESXCheckCompat.py
Depending on the server generation model, ensure that your server profile meets the driver and firmware requirements.

For more information about quick boot and support for vSphere 8.x, see the Understanding ESXi Quick Boot Compatibility (52477) article or Quick Boot on Dell PowerEdge servers whitepaper.
