Yesterday, 2015-07-07, mwMware released a patch for their ESXi 6 and it’s called ESXi 6.0.0b. As always, evaluate if the fixes included in a release is required for your environment and if it is the patch can be downloaded here.
Some of the issues resolved in this release includes:
- NTP package updated
- Unable to monitor hardware status on an ESXi host
- Unable to monitor hardware status with vCenter Server
- Memory leak in CIM providers while sending CIM Indications
- After upgrading firmware, false alarms might appear in the Hardware Status tab
- ESXi host might become unusable with no connectivity until reboot
- When an ESXi host has three or more vmknics, if you reset network settings from DCUI or apply a Host Profile where the vmknics are on a DVS, including the management vmknic, a Hostctl exception might occur. This might cause the host to become unusable with no connectivity until it is rebooted.
- ESXi host might lose network connectivity after enabling port mirroring sessions
- VMware Tools might fail to automatically upgrade when the VM is powered on for the first time
