VMware ESXi 8.0 Update 3 | 25 JUN 2024 | ISO Build 24022510

Check for additions and updates to these release notes.


GENERAL AVAILABILITY

This ESXi 8.0 Update 3 release is a General Availability (GA) designation. For
more information on the vSphere 8.0 IA/GA Release Model of vSphere Update
releases, see The vSphere 8 Release Model Evolves.


WHAT'S NEW

This release resolves CVE-2024-37085 and CVE-2024-37086. For more information on
these vulnerabilities and their impact on VMware products, see VMSA-2024-0013.

For overview of the new features in vSphere 8.0 Update 3, see What's New in
vSphere 8 Update 3 and the following release notes:

 * vSphere IaaS Control Plane (former VMware vSphere With Tanzu)

 * Tanzu Kubernetes releases

 * VMware vSAN

 * VMware Host Client

 * VMware OVF Tool

The list of new features and enhancements that follows adds some of the key
highlights for vSphere 8.0 Update 3:

 * DPU/SmartNIC
   
    * High Availability with VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine:
      Starting with ESXi 8.0 Update 3, vSphere Distributed Services Engine adds
      support for 2 data processing units (DPUs) to provide high availability or
      increase offload capacity per ESXi host. Dual-DPU systems can use NVIDIA
      or Pensando devices. In ESXi 8.0 Update 3, dual-DPU systems are supported
      by Lenovo server designs. For more information, see High Availability with
      VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine.

 * vSphere IaaS control plane
   
    * Support for running vSphere IaaS control plane on vSAN stretched clusters:
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds support for vSphere IaaS control plane, formerly
      known as vSphere with Tanzu, on vSAN stretched clusters. This capability
      is available only for greenfield installations of the IaaS control plane
      on stretched vSAN clusters. If you already have IaaS control pane or
      vSphere with Tanzu plus Content Library running, you need to redeploy it
      before you use the vSAN Stretched Cluster Storage Policies.
      
      Before configuring this capability, read Running vSphere IaaS Control
      Plane on vSAN Stretched Cluster and follow content on
      https://core.vmware.com.

 * Virtual Machine Management
   
    * New Virtual Machine Compute Policy for Best Effort Virtual Machine
      Evacuation: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds a compute policy for best effort
      evacuation of virtual machines on ESXi hosts that are entering maintenance
      mode. When the host enters maintenance mode, all VMs are shut down. If
      shutdown fails, the VMs are powered off. If power off fails, you need to
      evacuate the VMs. With the new capability, when the VMs are in a
      powered-off state, vCenter attempts to power them on every few minutes on
      the best available ESXi host at the time. This policy overrules any DRS
      overrides set at the VM level, and the hosts on which the VMs are powered
      on might be different from the original host.

 * vSphere Cluster Service
   
    * Introducing Embedded vSphere Cluster Service (vCLS): vSphere 8.0 Update 3
      introduces a redesign of vCLS to Embedded vCLS, which utilizes vSphere Pod
      technology. Deployment and lifecycle of these VMs are managed within ESXi
      and are no longer managed by the vSphere ESX Agent Manager (EAM). Earlier
      versions of vCLS are termed External vCLS. Issues previously encountered
      with External vCLS are resolved in this release of Embedded vCLS. While
      existing API compatibility is preserved, minor modifications to customer
      scripts or automation tools might be necessary. Other products and
      solutions that have defined business logic around External vCLS might not
      work with Embedded vCLS. See individual product documentation to
      understand the interoperability support and impact. For more information,
      see vSphere Cluster Services and content available from vSphere Technical
      Marketing on the Broadcom Support Portal.

 * vSAN
   
    * vSAN add-on licenses based on capacity per tebibyte (TiB): With vSphere
      8.0 Update 3, you can license your use of vSAN storage based on TiB
      capacity. The new capacity-based license replaces the core and CPU-based
      licenses. For more information on capacity reporting and licensing in
      vSAN, see License Requirements and Counting Cores for VMware Cloud
      Foundation and vSphere Foundation and TiBs for vSAN.

 * Security
   
    * TLS 1.3 and 1.2 support by using TLS profiles: Starting with vSphere 8.0
      Update 3, you can use TLS profiles to simplify the configuration of TLS
      parameters and improve supportability in your vSphere system. With vSphere
      8.0 Update 3, you get a default TLS profile on ESXi and vCenter Server
      hosts, COMPATIBLE, which supports TLS 1.3 and some TLS 1.2 connections.
      For more information, see vSphere TLS Configuration.
   
    * PingFederate Identity Provider for vSphere: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you
      can configure PingFederate as an external identity provider in your
      vSphere system. For more information, see Configuring vCenter Server
      Identity Provider for PingFederate.

 * Storage/Memory
   
    * Memory Tiering: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 launches in tech preview the Memory
      Tiering capability, which allows you to use NVMe devices that you can add
      locally to an ESXi host as tiered memory. Memory tiering over NVMe
      optimizes memory utilization by directing VM memory allocations to either
      NVMe devices or faster dynamic random access memory (DRAM) in the host.
      This allows you to increase your memory footprint and workload capacity,
      while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). For more details on the
      tech preview, see KB 95944.
   
    * Fabric Notification support for SAN clusters: ESXi 8.0 Update 3 introduces
      support for Fabric Performance Impact Notifications Link Integrity
      (FPIN-LI). With FPIN-LI, the vSphere infrastructure layer can manage
      notifications from SAN switches or targets, identifying degraded SAN links
      and ensuring only healthy paths are used for storage devices. FPIN can
      also notify ESXi hosts for storage link congestion and errors.
   
    * Support for space reclamation requests from guest operating systems on
      NVMe-backed vSphere Virtual Volumes datastores and Config-vVol: ESXi 8.0
      Update 3 adds support for automatic space reclamation requests from guest
      operating systems on NVMe-backed vSphere Virtual Volumes datastores. ESXi
      8.0 Update 3 also adds support for both command line-based and automatic
      unmap for vSphere Virtual Volumes objects of type Config-vVol, formatted
      with VMFS-6. For more information, see Reclaim Space on the vSphere
      Virtual Volumes Datastores.
   
    * Manage the UNMAP load from ESXi hosts at a VMFS datastore level: Starting
      with ESXi 8.0 Update 3, you can control the unmap load at datastore level
      to avoid time delays from space reclamation and reduce overall unmap load
      on the arrays in your environment. For more information, see Space
      Reclamation on vSphere VMFS Datastores.
   
    * Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) enhancements on vSphere Virtual
      Volumes: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds support for a WSFC solution for
      NVMe-backed disks on vSphere Virtual Volumes. This capability allows NVMe
      reservations support in NVMe/TCP environments apart from Fibre Channel
      support for WSFC on vSphere Virtual Volumes. Virtual NVMe (vNVME)
      controllers are supported as the frontend for WSFC with NVMe-backed disks,
      not with SCSI-backed disks. For more information, see VMware vSphere®
      Virtual Volumes Support for WSFC.
   
    * Support for active-active vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC) with
      vSphere Virtual Volumes: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 introduces a new version of
      the VMware vSphere Storage APIs for Array Integration (VASA) to add
      support to active-active stretched storage clusters with vSphere Virtual
      Volumes, with active-active deployment topologies for SCSI block access
      between two sites. VASA version 6 includes new architecture and design for
      VASA Provider High Availability support for both stretched
      and non-stretched storage clusters. For more information, see Using
      Stretched Storage Clustering with Virtual Volumes.
   
    * VMkernel port binding for NFS v4.1 datastores: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3,
      you can bind an NFS 4.1 connection to a specific VM kernel adapter. If you
      use multipathing, you can provide multiple vmknics for each connection to
      ensure path isolation and security by directing NFS traffic across a
      specified subnet/VLAN, so that the NFS traffic does not use other vmknics.
      For more information, see Configure VMkernel Binding for NFS 4.1
      Datastores.
   
    * Support for nConnect for NFS v4.1 datastores: ESXi 8.0 Update 3 adds
      support to multiple TCP connections for a NFS v4.1 volume, also referred
      to as nConnect. For NFS v4.1, multiple TCP connections are created for a
      single session that many datastores can share in parallel. It can be
      configured by using either the vSphere API or ESXCLI directly on an ESXi
      host. For more information, see Configure Multiple TCP Connections for
      NFS.
   
    * Reduced time to inflate VMFS disks: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3, a new VMFS
      API allows you to inflate a thin-provisioned disk to eagerzeroedthick
      (EZT) while the disk is in use and up to 10 times faster than previous
      alternative methods. During the inflation, all blocks are fully allocated
      and zeroed upfront to allow faster run-time performance. For more
      information, see Virtual Disk Options.
   
    * Improved resiliency against memory corruption on RAM-heavy ESXi hosts:
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds proactive measures to prevent memory errors in
      systems with VMs of more than 1TB that might bring down an entire ESXi
      host and increase application downtime.
   
    * Advanced setting to block deletion and removal of disks for VMs with
      snapshots: ESX 8.0 Update 3 adds a per-host advanced option
      blockDiskRemoveIfSnapshot to prevent the removal of disks from a VM that
      has snapshots, even if you choose to delete files, which might lead to
      orphaned disks.  For more information, see VMware knowledge base article
      94545.
   
    * Hardware accelerated move (clone operation) support on NVMe devices:
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3 supports NVMe copy command for hardware accelerated
      move (also called clone blocks or copy offload) across or within NVMe
      namespaces that belong to the same NVMe subsystem.
   
    * Granular monitoring for VASA provider accessibility and certification
      authentication status on ESXi host level: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you
      can monitor connection status and ESXi authentication with VASA storage
      providers from the vSphere Client and re-authenticate hosts as necessary.
      For more information, see Reauthenticate VASA Client in ESXi.

 * GuestOS
   
    * Guest customization supports RHEL NetworkManager keyfile format: In
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3, guest customization adds support for RHEL
      NetworkManager keyfile format and you can store network configuration in
      both keyfile and ifcfg format.

 * Drivers/Network
   
    * Support for Fibre Channel Extended Link Services (FC-ELS): With vSphere
      8.0 Update 3, you can use the command esxcli storage fpin info set -e=
      <true/false> to activate or deactivate the Fabric Performance Impact
      Notification (FPIN). The command saves the FPIN activation to both
      ConfigStore and the VMkernel System Interface Shell and persists across
      ESXi reboots. This is enabled by both Broadcom’s lpfc and Marvell’s
      qlnativefc drivers.
   
    * Unified Enhanced Networking Stack (UENS) driver for the Elastic Network
      Adapter (ENA): vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds a UENS driver for ENA, which
      provides connectivity to the AWS underlay Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
   
    * Overlay Filters Supporting Tunnel End Point (TEP): vSphere 8.0 Update 3
      enhances the i40en, qedentv, and sfvmk NIC drivers by adding capabilities
      that expose overlay filters, supporting the TEP functionality.
   
    * Broadcom Driver Updates: 
      
      * Broadcom bnxtnet driver: Adds support for NetQ RSS to facilitate future
        Unified Enhanced Networking Stack (UENS) support.
   
    * Intel Driver Updates: 
      
      * Intel i40en driver: The number of queues per RSS engine is up from 4 to
        8, in ENS mode it supports up to 16 queues.
      
      * Intel icen driver: Adds RoCE support on 1000GbE NIC.
      
      * Intel irdman driver: Adds RoCE support on 1000GbE NIC.
   
    * Marvell Driver Updates:
      
      * Marvell qedentv driver: The max number of queues for the Default RSS
        engine is up from 4 to 16 in ENS mode.
   
    * Mellanox Driver Updates:
      
      * Mellanox nmlx5 driver: Adds support for hardware Large Receive Offload
        (LRO) in Enhanced Data Path mode to increase inbound throughput of
        high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead.
      
      * Adds support for dual-DPU servers.
   
    * Pensando Driver Updates:
      
      * Pensando ionic_en driver: Adds support for dual-DPU servers.
   
    * Routine Inbox Driver Updates and Bug Fixes
      
      * Broadcom bcm_mpi3 
      
      * Broadcom lpfc
      
      * Cisco nfnic
      
      * Marvell qlnativefc
      
      * Microchip smartpqi

 * CPU
   
    * PCIe hot plug is updated for server platforms utilizing newer
      generation AMD Genoa and Intel Sapphire Rapid CPUs: Starting with vSphere
      8.0 Update 3, kernel hot plug is supported for newer generation CPUs such
      as AMD Genoa and Intel Sapphire Rapids.
   
    * Support for Intel Xeon Max Series processors with integrated High
      Bandwidth Memory (HBM): vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds support for Intel Xeon
      Max Series processors (formerly with code name Sapphire Rapids HBM) with
      64 GB of integrated HBM, aimed to enhance performance for workloads like
      high performance computing apps, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine
      learning (ML).
   
    * CPU C-State Power virtualization: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3, for use cases
      such as Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) workloads, you can
      configure and control the C-State power of the physical CPUs dedicated to
      vRAN VMs from the vSphere Client.
   
    * Cluster-wide option to retain virtual NUMA topology: vSphere 8.0 Update 3
      adds a setting to retain preconfigured vNUMA topology even if the VM
      moves, allowing for better NUMA topology tuning for VMs across all the
      hosts in the cluster. This is the advanced vCenter Server setting
      VPXD_PersistVnuma to keep the virtual NUMA topology on a cluster level
      under Configure > Advanced Settings in the vSphere Client.

 * Analytics and Metrics
   
    * vSphere green metrics with Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) technology:
      Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, in the Advanced Performance Charts in
      the vSphere Client you can see RAPL data on ESXi hosts that normally do
      not report individual subsystem power consumption, such as CPU and Memory,
      but only general host-level power consumption. With individual subsystem
      power consumption reports, you can plan on a more granular level to match
      your power and cooling budget.
   
    * Set VM log levels without powering off the VMs: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3,
      you can set log levels between VMW_LOG_TRIVIA and VMW_LOG_DEBUG_3 to avoid
      log spew in a healthy running VM without a power cycle by using the
      SetLogLevel service in the vAPI infrastructure.

 * GPU
   
    * Support for switching between Time Sliced and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG)
      modes for NVIDIA virtual GPUs: Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you do
      not need to reboot an ESXi host to switch between time sliced and MIG
      modes for NVIDIA virtual GPUs. vGPU VMs can automatically set the correct
      device mode according to their vGPU type.
   
    * Zero-copy support for vGPUs to enhance vSphere vMotion and vSphere DRS
      tasks: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds zero-copy support for vGPUs to enhance
      vSphere vMotion and vSphere DRS tasks by utilizing throughput of up to 100
      Gbps.
   
    * Support for heterogeneous vGPU profiles on physical GPUs: Starting with
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you can set vGPU profiles with different types or
      sizes on a single physical GPU to achieve greater flexibility with vGPU
      workloads and better utilization of GPU devices. For more information, see
      Configuring vGPU Size.

 * vSphere Lifecycle Management
   
    * Support for parallel hardware and firmware upgrade with vSphere Lifecycle
      Manager: With vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3, you can run parallel hardware
      and firmware remediation by using an integration between the vSphere
      Lifecycle Manager and the Hardware Support Manager.  
   
    * VMware Photon™ 5.0 support for Update Manager Download Service (UMDS):
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds VMware Photon™ 5.0 to the supported Linux-based
      operating systems for installing UMDS. For more information, see
      Installing UMDS.
   
    * Additional lifecycle management capabilities for standalone ESXi
      hosts: Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you can add a standalone host
      to a data center or folder by importing an image from another ESXi host in
      the vCenter Server inventory or by using the current image on the host.
      For more information, see Managing Standalone ESXi Hosts with vSphere
      Lifecycle Manager Images. When you move a host out of a cluster that you
      manage with a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image to a data center or a
      folder, the host becomes standalone and can retain the image from the
      cluster. For more information, see Specifics of the Transitioning
      Workflow.
   
    * Lifecycle management of standalone ESXi hosts with VMware NSX: Starting
      with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, NSX Manager and vSphere Lifecycle Manager work
      together to coordinate remediation of standalone ESXi hosts with VMware
      NSX. For more information, see Using vSphere Lifecycle Manager Images for
      Standalone Hosts with NSX 4.2 and later.
   
    * Convert baseline-managed clusters to clusters managed by a single vSphere
      Lifecycle Manager image: Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, to start
      managing a cluster with a single vSphere Lifecycle Manager image, you can
      use the image installed on one of the ESXi hosts inside the cluster
      managed with baselines. For more information, see Use an Image from a Host
      in the Cluster.
   
    * Patch VMX-related security vulnerabilities without any disruption to your
      workloads: Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you can use the Live Patch
      capability to apply VMX-related security patches and bug fixes to ESXi
      hosts in a cluster managed with a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image. A
      pre-check prior to remediation lists all suitable hosts in a cluster.
      After you activate LivePatch in the remediation settings, qualified hosts
      in a cluster do not require maintenance mode, or reboot, or VM migration
      during the update procedure. 
   
    * Customize vSphere Lifecycle Manager desired state images: Starting with
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you can remove the Host Client and VMware Tools
      components from the base image, remove unnecessary drivers from vendor
      add-ons and components, and override existing drivers in a desired image.
      For more information, see Edit a vSphere Lifecycle Manager Image. 
   
    * Support for dual DPUs with vSphere Lifecycle Manager: Starting with
      vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you can install dual DPUs on ESXi hosts and use the
      vSphere Lifecycle Manager workflow to upgrade the dual DPU system. 
   
    * Extended support for vSphere Configuration Profiles (VCP): With vSphere
      8.0 Update 3, you can use VCP with the following new capabilities:
      
      * Support to baseline-managed clusters (formerly referred to as VUM
        clusters): Having an image-managed cluster is no longer a prerequisite
        for using VCP. You can use VCP to configure either baseline-managed
        clusters or image-managed clusters.
      
      * Support for vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS): VCP is fully integrated
        with VDS and supports drift detection and remediation of VDS
        configurations at a cluster level.
      
      * Firewall ruleset management: You can manage custom firewall rules at a
        cluster level by using VCP.
      
      * ESXi Lockdown Mode: vSphere admins can use the VCP desired configuration
        document to enforce Lockdown Mode on all hosts in a cluster.
      
      * Support for SNMP and PCI device configurations: You can manage SNMP and
        PCI devices at a cluster level by using VCP.
      
      For more information, see Using vSphere Configuration Profiles to Manage
      Host Configuration at a Cluster Level.

 * vSphere Client and vCenter
   
    * Warning on the maximum number of remote https connections for vCenter:
      Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, to prevent a vCenter system to become
      unresponsive due to exceeding the limit of 2048 https connections, you
      will see HTTP error code 503 Service Unavailable and
      x-envoy-local-overloaded: true in the response headers.
   
    * Merging the vSAN Management SDK with the Python SDK for the VMware vSphere
      API: Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, the vSAN Management SDK for
      Python is integrated into the Python SDK for the VMware vSphere API
      (pyVmomi). From the Python Package Index (PyPI), you can download a single
      package to manage vSAN, vCenter, and ESXi. This integration streamlines
      the discovery and installation process and enables automated pipelines
      instead of the series of manual steps previously.
   
    * vCenter Universally Unique Identifier (VC_UUID) field in the vSphere
      Client: With vSphere 8.0 Update 3, the property table under VMs > Virtual
      Machines in the vSphere Client includes a new column that contains the
      VC_UUID. This identifier is automatically assigned to every virtual
      machine within a vCenter instance. The VC_UUID field helps clarify the
      correlation between the VM’s UUID displayed on the switch’s fabric and the
      VM name in vCenter.
   
    * Default HTTP response compression: vSphere 8.0 Update 3 adds support for
      HTTP response compression by default on the edge proxies of vCenter and
      ESXi hosts, management traffic between vCenter and ESXi hosts, and for
      outgoing HTTP requests on sidecar proxies. HTTP response compression
      reduces the HTTP traffic in a vCenter Server system, shrinks page load
      time and speeds up API operations. You can deactivate HTTP response
      compression if required, but the capability does not require any changes
      in your environment and is backward compatible.
   
    * Remove restrictions on virtual machine operations from the vSphere Client:
      Starting with vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3, in the vSphere Client under
      Virtual Machine > Configure > Disabled Methods you can remove restrictions
      on virtual machine operations such as migration. For more information, see
      VMware knowledge base article 2044369.
      
      Unified Management and Automation API Sessions: Starting with vCenter 8.0
      Update 3, you can combine vSphere Management API (VIM) and vSphere
      Automation API (vAPI) sessions, effectively unifying authentication across
      SOAP and REST vCenter endpoints. For more information see Unified
      Management and Automation Session.
   
    * Migration of SPBM, SMS, EAM, and VLSM APIs to HTTP/JSON-based wire
      protocol: Starting with vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3, the following 4
      SOAP/XML service interfaces migrate to a HTTP/JSON-based wire protocol,
      providing OpenAPI 3.0 specifications for each, and integration with the
      REST API documentation:
      
      * The Storage Policy (SPBM) API, which simplifies the task of matching
        available storage to virtual machines.
      
      * VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service (SMS), which facilitates
        access to all vCenter storage information associated with VMware vCenter
        servers.
      
      * vSphere ESX Agent Manager API (EAM), which gives access to the objects
        that manage, monitor, and control lifecycle operations in vSphere.
      
      * Virtual Storage Lifecycle Management (VSLM) API that you use to manage
        first class disks (FCD).
      
      For more information, see What’s New in vSphere Automation: vSphere APIs,
      JSON, OpenAPI.

 * For vSphere Quick Boot support in ESXi 8.0 Update 3, see Understanding ESXi
   Quick Boot Compatibility.
   
   

 * ESXi 8.0 Update 3 adds support for vSphere Quick Boot to Marvel OCTEON Fusion
   CNF105xx drivers.
   
   For the full list of supported servers and drivers, see the VMware
   Compatibility Guide.

PRODUCT SUPPORT NOTICES

 * Deprecation of APIs for vCenter for Windows to Linux migration:
   
   Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, APIs from vSphere 6.7.x for migrating
   vCenter for Windows to Linux during upgrade are deprecated and will be
   removed in a future vSphere release. 

 * Deprecation of VMkernel API (vmkapi) version 2.5:
   
   Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, vmkapi version 2.5 is deprecated and will
   be removed in a future major release. This requires an update of any
   third-party component released for vSphere 6.7.

 * Removal of Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA):
   
   vSphere 8.0 Update 3 is the final release to support Integrated Windows
   Authentication. IWA was deprecated in vSphere 7.0 and will be removed in the
   next major release. To ensure continued secure access, migrate from IWA to
   Active Directory over LDAPS or to Identity Federation with Multi-Factor
   Authentication. For more information, see vSphere Authentication with vCenter
   Single Sign-On and Deprecation of Integrated Windows Authentication.

 * Removal of VMware Enhanced Authentication Plug-in (EAP): Starting with
   vSphere 8.0 Update 3, you cannot use EAP to log in to a vCenter system by
   using the vSphere Client. For more information, see Removing the deprecated
   VMware Enhanced Authentication Plugin (EAP) to address CVE-2024-22245 and
   CVE-2024-22250.
   
   Deprecation of the vCenter Service Lifecycle Management API: vSphere 8.0
   Update 3 is deprecating the use of vCenter Service Lifecycle Management
   (vmonapi service) API and the service is not active by default, you must
   manually activate it. The service will be removed in a future release. For
   more information, see VMware knowledge base article 80775.

 * Removal of the internal runtime option execInstalledOnly: Starting with ESXi
   8.0 Update 3, the internal runtime option that deactivates the security
   option execInstalledOnly is deprecated and will be removed in the next major
   release. The boot option execInstalledOnly, which helps protect hosts against
   ransomware attacks, will be activated on ESXi hosts by default in the next
   major release.

 * Deprecation of Storage DRS Load Balancer and Storage I/O Control (SIOC): The
   Storage DRS (SDRS) I/O Load Balancer, SDRS I/O Reservations-based load
   balancer, and vSphere Storage I/O Control Components will be deprecated in a
   future vSphere release. Existing 8.x and 7.x releases will continue to
   support this functionality. The deprecation affects I/O latency-based load
   balancing and I/O reservations-based load balancing among datastores within a
   Storage DRS datastore cluster. In addition, enabling of SIOC on a datastore
   and setting of Reservations and Shares by using SPBM Storage policies are
   also being deprecated. Storage DRS Initial placement and load balancing based
   on space constraints and SPBM Storage Policy settings for limits are not
   affected by the deprecation.

 * Deprecation of vSphere Trust Authority (vTA):
   
   Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 3, vSphere Trust Authority is deprecated.
   vSphere continues to offer advanced workload attestation in its baseline
   functionality.

 * Removal of Patch Manager APIs: Patch Manager APIs are supported in vSphere
   8.x, but support will discontinue in a future release of vSphere. Instead of
   Patch Manager APIs, you can use the latest vSphere APIs, documented in
   the vSphere API automation reference guide.

 * Deprecation of locales:
   
   Beginning with the next major release, we will be reducing the number of
   supported localization languages. The three supported languages will be:
   
   * Japanese
   
   * Spanish
   
   * French
   
   * The following languages will no longer be supported:
     
     Impact:
     
     * Users who have been using the deprecated languages will no longer receive
       updates or support in these languages.
       
       All user interfaces, help documentation, and customer support will be
       available only in English or in the three supported languages mentioned
       above.
     
     * Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Korean,
       Simplified Chinese

 * Removal of vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines:
   
   Support for managing clusters with vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines and
   baseline groups (legacy vSphere Update Manager workflows) will drop in a
   future vSphere release. Instead of baselines and baseline groups, you can use
   vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to perform tasks on a standalone host or on
   a cluster level such as install a desired ESXi version on all hosts in a
   cluster, install and update third-party software, update, and upgrade ESXi or
   firmware, generate recommendations, and use a recommended image for your
   cluster.

RESOLVED ISSUES

 * Virtual Machine Management Issues
 * Storage Issues
 * Security Features Issues
 * Miscellaneous Issues
 * Guest OS Issues


VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGEMENT ISSUES

 * PR 3237088: A vSphere system with EPYC processors of the series 7002, 7Fx2,
   7Hx2, and 7001 might become unresponsive after more than 1000 days of
   continuous uptime
   
   Due to AMD erratum 1474, if the core-C6 (CC6) sleep state is active on your
   EPYC processors of the series 7002, 7Fx2, 7Hx2, and 7001, a core might fail
   to exit CC6 in about 1044 days after the last system hardware reset, which
   excludes reboots by using VMware QuickBoot. As a result, your vSphere system
   might become unresponsive.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release. The fix automatically deactivates CC6
   until the next hardware reset.

 * PR 3035321: When you add an existing virtual hard disk to a new virtual
   machine, you might see an error that the VM configuration is rejected
   
   When you add an existing virtual hard disk to a new virtual machine by using
   the VMware Host Client, the operation might fail with an error such as The VM
   configuration was rejected. Please see browser Console. The issue occurs
   because the VMware Host Client might fail to get some properties, such as the
   hard disk controller.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.


STORAGE ISSUES

 * PR 2931647: You cannot create snapshots of virtual machines due to an error
   in the Content Based Read Cache (CBRC) that a digest operation has failed
   
   A rare race condition when assigning a content ID during the update of the
   CBRC digest file might cause a discrepancy between the content ID in the data
   disk and the digest disk. As a result, you cannot create virtual machine
   snapshots. You see an error such as An error occurred while saving the
   snapshot: A digest operation has failed in the backtrace. The snapshot
   creation task completes upon retry.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.


SECURITY FEATURES ISSUES

 * PR 3373364: The CIMHttpServer firewall ruleset remains active even when you
   stop the CIM service
   
   The CIMHttpServer firewall ruleset, which is for internal port 5988, might
   remain active even when you stop the CIM service.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release. The CIMHttpServer firewall ruleset is
   permanently deactivated.


MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES

 * New - PR 3359237: If a NVMe/TCP driver fails to process an I/O command, an
   ESXi host might disconnect from a storage array
   
   If your ESXi hosts connect to storage arrays and perform read/write
   operations by using NVMe/TCP connections, when a NVMe/TCP driver fails to
   process an I/O command, ESXi might cancel the process with an abort command.
   As a result, an ESXi host might disconnect from a storage array and end
   previous I/O queues.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.

 * PR 3297607: An ESXi host might fail with a purple diagnostic screen while
   connecting to an NVMe over TCP controller
   
   Due to a rare issue in the nvmetcp driver, an ESXi host might fail with a
   purple diagnostic screen while connecting to an NVMe over TCP controller. In
   the backtrace, you see a warning such as WARNING: NVMFDEV:xxxx Failed to
   connect controller.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.

 * PR 3355070: ESXi hosts might become unresponsive after VMFS heap exhaustion
   due to the pointer block cache size
   
   The VMFS heap copy of the pointer block cache might fill up the heap memory
   and cause memory allocation failures for other operations that require memory
   from the VMFS heap. As a consequence, you might see some ESXi hosts becoming
   unresponsive. The issue is more likely to occur if the maxAddressableSpaceTB
   parameter is set to a higher value than the default of 32TB, as the time for
   cache refresh increases.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.


GUEST OS ISSUES

 * PR 3091866: You see I/O errors in the logs of Linux virtual machines
   
   In rare cases, unmap requests from a Linux Guest OS might compete with other
   workflows running on a different host such as block allocation on the same
   resource cluster. As a result, you see I/O errors in the logs of Linux VMs.
   
   This issue is resolved in this release.


KNOWN ISSUES

 * Storage Issues
 * Miscellaneous Issues
 * Networking Issues
 * Installation, Upgrade, and Migration Issues


STORAGE ISSUES

 * vSphere vMotion operations of virtual machines residing on Pure-backed
   vSphere Virtual Volumes storage might time out
   
   vSphere vMotion operations for VMs residing on vSphere Virtual Volumes
   datastores depend on the vSphere API for Storage Awareness (VASA) provider
   and the timing of VASA operations to complete. In rare cases, and under
   specific conditions when the VASA provider is under heavy load, response time
   from a Pure VASA provider might cause ESXi to exceed the timeout limit of 120
   sec for each phase of vSphere vMotion tasks. In environments with multiple
   stretched storage containers you might see further delays in the Pure VASA
   provider response. As a result, running vSphere vMotion tasks time out and
   cannot complete.
   
   Workaround: Reduce parallel workflows, especially on Pure storage on vSphere
   Virtual Volumes datastores exposed from the same VASA provider, and retry the
   vSphere vMotion task.

 * In a vSphere Virtual Volumes stretched storage cluster environment, some VMs
   might fail to power on after recovering from a cluster-wide APD
   
   In high scale Virtual Volumes stretched storage cluster environments, after
   recovering from a cluster-wide APD, due to the high load during the recovery
   some VMs might fail to power on even though the datastores and protocol
   endpoints are online and accessible.
   
   Workaround: Migrate the affected VMs to a different ESXi host and power on
   the VMs.

 * You see "Object or item referred not found" error for tasks on a First Class
   Disk (FCD)
   
   Due to a rare storage issue, during the creation of a snapshot of an attached
   FCD, the disk might be deleted from the Managed Virtual Disk Catalog. If you
   do not reconcile the Managed Virtual Disk Catalog, all consecutive operations
   on such a FCD fail with the Object or item referred not found error.
   
   Workaround: See Reconciling Discrepancies in the Managed Virtual Disk
   Catalog.


MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES

 * The irdman driver might fail when you use Unreliable Datagram (UD) transport
   mode ULP for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) traffic
   
   If for some reason you choose to use the UD transport mode upper layer
   protocol (ULP) for RoCE traffic, the irdman driver might fail. This issue is
   unlikely to occur, as the irdman driver only supports iSCSI Extensions for
   RDMA (iSER), which uses ULPs in Reliable Connection (RC) mode.
   
   Workaround: Use ULPs with RC transport mode.


NETWORKING ISSUES

 * Connection-intensive RDMA workload might lead to loss of traffic on Intel
   Ethernet E810 Series devices with inbox driver irdman-1.4.0.1
   
   The inbox irdman driver version 1.4.0.1 does not officially support vSAN over
   RDMA. Tests running 10,000 RDMA connections, usual for vSAN environments,
   might occasionally lose all traffic on Intel Ethernet E810 Series devices
   with NVM version 4.2 and irdman driver version 1.4.0.1.
   
   Workaround: None.

 * Capture of network packets by using the PacketCapture tool on ESXi does not
   work
   
   Due to tightening of the rhttpproxy security policy, you can no longer use
   the PacketCapture tool as described in Collecting network packets using the
   lightweight PacketCapture on ESXi.
   
   Workaround: Use the pktcap-uw tool. For more information, see Capture and
   Trace Network Packets by Using the pktcap-uw Utility.


INSTALLATION, UPGRADE, AND MIGRATION ISSUES

 * New - Fresh installation or creating VMFS partitions on a Micron 7500 or
   Intel D5-P5336 NVMe drives might fail with a purple diagnostic screen
   
   UNMAP commands enable ESXi hosts to release storage space that is mapped to
   data deleted from the host. In NVMe, the equivalent of UNMAP commands is a
   deallocate DSM request. Micron 7500 and Intel D5-P5336 devices advertise a
   very large value in one of the deallocate limit attributes, DMSRL, which is
   the maximum number of logical blocks in a single range for a Dataset
   Management command. This leads to an integer overflow when the ESXi unmap
   split code converts number of blocks to number of bytes, which in turn might
   cause a failure of either installation or VMFS creation. You see a purple
   diagnostics screen with an error such as Exception 14 or corruption in
   dlmalloc. The issue affects ESXi 8.0 Update 2 and later.
   
   Workaround: For a fresh ESXi installation, first install ESXi 8.0, deactivate
   UNMAP for the affected disk by using the command esxcli storage core device
   vaai status set -D 0 -d <device-id> and then upgrade to 8.0 Update 3. To
   create VMFS partitions, deactivate UNMAP for the affected disk by using the
   command esxcli storage core device vaai status set -D 0 -d <device-id> and
   then create VMFS as usual. You can reactivate UNMAP after you create a VMFS
   datastore, but if you delete or create a partition, UNMAP must remain
   deactivated.

 * The Cancel option in an interactive ESXi installation might not work as
   expected
   
   Due to an update of the Python library, the Cancel option by pressing the ESC
   button in an interactive ESXi installation might not work as expected. The
   issue occurs only in interactive installations, not in scripted or upgrade
   scenarios.
   
   Workaround: Press the ESC key twice and then press any other key to activate
   the Cancel option.

 * Standard image profiles for ESXi 8.0 Update 3 show last modified date as
   release date
   
   The Release Date field of the standard image profile for ESXi 8.0 Update 3
   shows the Last Modified Date value. The issue is only applicable to the image
   profiles used in Auto Deploy or ESXCLI. Base images used in vSphere Lifecyce
   Manager workflows display the release date correctly. This issue has no
   functional impact. The side effect is that if you search for profiles by
   release date, the profile does not show with the actual release date.
   
   Workaround: Search by release version, such as 8.0.3.


KNOWN ISSUES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES

 * Installation, Upgrade, and Migration Issues
 * Miscellaneous Issues
 * Networking Issues
 * Storage Issues
 * vCenter Server and vSphere Client Issues
 * Virtual Machine Management Issues
 * vSphere Lifecycle Manager Issues
 * VMware Host Client Issues
 * Security Features Issues


INSTALLATION, UPGRADE, AND MIGRATION ISSUES

 * If you update your vCenter to 8.0 Update 1, but ESXi hosts remain on an
   earlier version, vSphere Virtual Volumes datastores on such hosts might
   become inaccessible
   
   Self-signed VASA provider certificates are no longer supported in vSphere 8.0
   and the configuration option Config.HostAgent.ssl.keyStore.allowSelfSigned is
   set to false by default. If you update a vCenter instance to 8.0 Update 1
   that introduces vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) version 5.0, and
   ESXi hosts remain on an earlier vSphere and VASA version, hosts that use
   self-signed certificates might not be able to access vSphere Virtual Volumes
   datastores or cannot refresh the CA certificate.
   
   Workaround: Update hosts to ESXi 8.0 Update 1. If you do not update to ESXi
   8.0 Update 1, see VMware knowledge base article 91387.

 * You cannot update to ESXi 8.0 Update 2b by using esxcli software vib commands
   
   Starting with ESXi 8.0 Update 2, upgrade or update of ESXi by using the
   commands esxcli software vib update or esxcli software vib install is not
   supported. If you use esxcli software vib update or esxcli software vib
   install to update your ESXi 8.0 Update 2 hosts to 8.0 Update 2b or later, the
   task fails. In the logs, you see an error such as: 
   
   ESXi version change is not allowed using esxcli software vib commands.
   
   Please use a supported method to upgrade ESXi.       
   
    vib = VMware_bootbank_esx-base_8.0.2-0.20.22481015 Please refer to the log
   file for more details.
   
   Workaround: If you are upgrading or updating ESXi from a depot zip bundle
   downloaded from the VMware website, VMware supports only the update command
   esxcli software profile update --depot=<depot_location>
   --profile=<profile_name>. For more information, see Upgrade or Update a Host
   with Image Profiles.

 * If you apply a host profile using a software FCoE configuration to an ESXi
   8.0 host, the operation fails with a validation error
   
   Starting from vSphere 7.0, software FCoE is deprecated, and in vSphere 8.0
   software FCoE profiles are not supported. If you try to apply a host profile
   from an earlier version to an ESXi 8.0 host, for example to edit the host
   customization, the operation fails. In the vSphere Client, you see an error
   such as Host Customizations validation error.
   
   Workaround: Disable the Software FCoE Configuration subprofile in the host
   profile.

 * You cannot use ESXi hosts of version 8.0 as a reference host for existing
   host profiles of earlier ESXi versions
   
   Validation of existing host profiles for ESXi versions 7.x, 6.7.x and 6.5.x
   fails when only an 8.0 reference host is available in the inventory.
   
   Workaround: Make sure you have a reference host of the respective version in
   the inventory. For example, use an ESXi 7.0 Update 2 reference host to update
   or edit an ESXi 7.0 Update 2 host profile.

 * VMNICs might be down after an upgrade to ESXi 8.0
   
   If the peer physical switch of a VMNIC does not support Media Auto Detect, or
   Media Auto Detect is disabled, and the VMNIC link is set down and then up,
   the link remains down after upgrade to or installation of ESXi 8.0.
   
   Workaround: Use either of these 2 options:
   
    1. Enable the option media-auto-detect in the BIOS settings by navigating to
       System Setup Main Menu, usually by pressing F2 or opening a virtual
       console, and then Device Settings > <specific broadcom NIC> > Device
       Configuration Menu > Media Auto Detect. Reboot the host.
   
    2. Alternatively, use an ESXCLI command similar to: esxcli network nic set
       -S <your speed> -D full -n <your nic>. With this option, you also set a
       fixed speed to the link, and it does not require a reboot.

 * After upgrade to ESXi 8.0, you might lose some nmlx5_core driver module
   settings due to obsolete parameters
   
   Some module parameters for the nmlx5_core driver, such as device_rss, drss
   and rss, are deprecated in ESXi 8.0 and any custom values, different from the
   default values, are not kept after an upgrade to ESXi 8.0.
   
   Workaround: Replace the values of the device_rss, drss and rss parameters as
   follows:
   
    * device_rss: Use the DRSS parameter.
   
    * drss: Use the DRSS parameter.
   
    * rss: Use the RSS parameter.

 * Second stage of vCenter Server restore procedure freezes at 90%
   
   When you use the vCenter Server GUI installer or the vCenter Server Appliance
   Management Interface (VAMI) to restore a vCenter from a file-based backup,
   the restore workflow might freeze at 90% with an error 401 Unable to
   authenticate user, even though the task completes successfully in the
   backend. The issue occurs if the deployed machine has a different time than
   the NTP server, which requires a time sync. As a result of the time sync,
   clock skew might fail the running session of the GUI or VAMI.
   
   Workaround: If you use the GUI installer, you can get the restore status by
   using the restore.job.get command from the appliancesh shell. If you use
   VAMI, refresh your browser.


MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES

 * RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) traffic might fail in Enhanced Networking
   Stack (ENS) and VLAN environment, and a Broadcom RDMA network interface
   controller (RNIC)
   
   The VMware solution for high bandwidth, ENS, does not support MAC VLAN
   filters. However, a RDMA application that runs on a Broadcom RNIC in an ENS +
   VLAN environment, requires a MAC VLAN filter. As a result, you might see some
   RoCE traffic disconnected. The issue is likely to occur in a NVMe over RDMA +
   ENS + VLAN environment, or in an ENS+VLAN+RDMA app environment, when an ESXi
   host reboots or an uplink goes up and down.
   
   Workaround: None

 * You might see compliance errors during upgrade to ESXi 8.0 Update 2b on
   servers with active Trusted Platform Module (TPM) encryption and vSphere
   Quick Boot
   
   If you use the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to upgrade your clusters to ESXi 8.0
   Update 2b, in the vSphere Client you might see compliance errors for hosts
   with active TPM encryption and vSphere Quick Boot.
   
   Workaround: Ignore the compliance errors and proceed with the upgrade.

 * If IPv6 is deactivated, you might see 'Jumpstart plugin restore-networking
   activation failed' error during ESXi host boot
   
   In the ESXi console, during the boot up sequence of a host, you might see the
   error banner Jumpstart plugin restore-networking activation failed. The
   banner displays only when IPv6 is deactivated and does not indicate an actual
   error.
   
   Workaround: Activate IPv6 on the ESXi host or ignore the message.

 * Reset or restore of the ESXi system configuration in a vSphere system with
   DPUs might cause invalid state of the DPUs
   
   If you reset or restore the ESXi system configuration in a vSphere system
   with DPUs, for example, by selecting Reset System Configuration in the direct
   console, the operation might cause invalid state of the DPUs. In the DCUI,
   you might see errors such as Failed to reset system configuration. Note that
   this operation cannot be performed when a managed DPU is present. A backend
   call to the -f force reboot option is not supported for ESXi installations
   with a DPU. Although ESXi 8.0 supports the -f force reboot option, if you use
   reboot -f on an ESXi configuration with a DPU, the forceful reboot might
   cause an invalid state.
   
   Workaround: Reset System Configuration in the direct console interface is
   temporarily disabled. Avoid resetting the ESXi system configuration in a
   vSphere system with DPUs.

 * In a vCenter Server system with DPUs, if IPv6 is disabled, you cannot manage
   DPUs
   
   Although the vSphere Client allows the operation, if you disable IPv6 on an
   ESXi host with DPUs, you cannot use the DPUs, because the internal
   communication between the host and the devices depends on IPv6. The issue
   affects only ESXi hosts with DPUs.
   
   Workaround: Make sure IPv6 is enabled on ESXi hosts with DPUs.

 * TCP connections intermittently drop on an ESXi host with Enhanced Networking
   Stack
   
   If the sender VM is on an ESXi host with Enhanced Networking Stack, TCP
   checksum interoperability issues when the value of the TCP checksum in a
   packet is calculated as 0xFFFF might cause the end system to drop or delay
   the TCP packet.
   
   Workaround: Disable TCP checksum offloading on the sender VM on ESXi hosts
   with Enhanced Networking Stack. In Linux, you can use the command sudo
   ethtool -K <interface> tx off.

 * You might see 10 min delay in rebooting an ESXi host on HPE server with
   pre-installed Pensando DPU
   
   In rare cases, HPE servers with pre-installed Pensando DPU might take more
   than 10 minutes to reboot in case of a failure of the DPU. As a result, ESXi
   hosts might fail with a purple diagnostic screen and the default wait time is
   10 minutes.
   
   Workaround: None.

 * If you have an USB interface enabled in a remote management application that
   you use to install ESXi 8.0, you see an additional standard switch vSwitchBMC
   with uplink vusb0
   
   Starting with vSphere 8.0, in both Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
   (iDRAC) and HP Integrated Lights Out (ILO), when you have an USB interface
   enabled, vUSB or vNIC respectively, an additional standard switch vSwitchBMC
   with uplink vusb0 gets created on the ESXi host. This is expected, in view of
   the introduction of data processing units (DPUs) on some servers but might
   cause the VMware Cloud Foundation Bring-Up process to fail.
   
   Workaround: Before vSphere 8.0 installation, disable the USB interface in the
   remote management application that you use by following vendor documentation.
   
   After vSphere 8.0 installation, use the ESXCLI command esxcfg-advcfg -s 0
   /Net/BMCNetworkEnable to prevent the creation of a virtual switch vSwitchBMC
   and associated portgroups on the next reboot of host.
   
   See this script as an example:
   
   ~# esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /Net/BMCNetworkEnable
   
   The value of BMCNetworkEnable is 0 and the service is disabled.
   
   ~# reboot
   
   On host reboot, no virtual switch, PortGroup and VMKNIC are created in the
   host related to remote management application network.

 * If an NVIDIA BlueField DPU is in hardware offload mode disabled, virtual
   machines with configured SR-IOV virtual function cannot power on
   
   NVIDIA BlueField DPUs must be in hardware offload mode enabled to allow
   virtual machines with configured SR-IOV virtual function to power on and
   operate.
   
   Workaround: Always use the default hardware offload mode enabled for NVIDIA
   BlueField DPUs when you have VMs with configured SR-IOV virtual function
   connected to a virtual switch.

 * In the Virtual Appliance Management Interface (VAMI), you see a warning
   message during the pre-upgrade stage
   
   Moving vSphere plug-ins to a remote plug-in architecture, vSphere 8.0
   deprecates support for local plug-ins. If your 8.0 vSphere environment has
   local plug-ins, some breaking changes for such plug-ins might cause the
   pre-upgrade check by using VAMI to fail.
   
   In the Pre-Update Check Results screen, you see an error such as:
   
   Warning message: The compatibility of plug-in package(s) %s with the new
   vCenter Server version cannot be validated. They may not function properly
   after vCenter Server upgrade.
   
   Resolution: Please contact the plug-in vendor and make sure the package is
   compatible with the new vCenter Server version.
   
   Workaround: Refer to the VMware Compatibility Guide and VMware Product
   Interoperability Matrix or contact the plug-in vendors for recommendations to
   make sure local plug-ins in your environment are compatible with vCenter
   Server 8.0 before you continue with the upgrade. For more information, see
   the blog Deprecating the Local Plugins :- The Next Step in vSphere Client
   Extensibility Evolution and VMware knowledge base article 87880.
   
   


NETWORKING ISSUES

 * You cannot set the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on a VMware vSphere
   Distributed Switch to a value larger than 9174 on a Pensando DPU
   
   If you have the vSphere Distributed Services Engine feature with a Pensando
   DPU enabled on your ESXi 8.0 system, you cannot set the Maximum Transmission
   Unit (MTU) on a vSphere Distributed Switch to a value larger than 9174.
   
   Workaround: None.

 * Transfer speed in IPv6 environments with active TCP segmentation offload is
   slow
   
   In environments with active IPv6 TCP segmentation offload (TSO), transfer
   speed for Windows virtual machines with an e1000e virtual NIC might be slow.
   The issue does not affect IPv4 environments.
   
   Workaround: Deactivate TSO or use a vmxnet3 adapter instead of e1000e.

 * You see link flapping on NICs that use the ntg3 driver of version 4.1.3 and
   later
   
   When two NICs that use the ntg3 driver of versions 4.1.3 and later are
   connected directly, not to a physical switch port, link flapping might occur.
   The issue does not occur on ntg3 drivers of versions earlier than 4.1.3 or
   the tg3 driver. This issue is not related to the occasional Energy Efficient
   Ethernet (EEE) link flapping on such NICs. The fix for the EEE issue is to
   use a ntg3 driver of version 4.1.7 or later, or disable EEE on physical
   switch ports.
   
   Workaround: Upgrade the ntg3 driver to version 4.1.8 and set the new module
   parameter noPhyStateSet to 1. The noPhyStateSet parameter defaults to 0 and
   is not required in most environments, except they face the issue.

 * When you migrate a VM from an ESXi host with a DPU device operating in
   SmartNIC (ECPF) Mode to an ESXi host with a DPU device operating in
   traditional NIC Mode, overlay traffic might drop
   
   When you use vSphere vMotion to migrate a VM attached to an overlay-backed
   segment from an ESXi host with a vSphere Distributed Switch operating in
   offloading mode (where traffic forwarding logic is offloaded to the DPU) to
   an ESXi host with a VDS operating in a non-offloading mode (where DPUs are
   used as a traditional NIC), the overlay traffic might drop after the
   migration.
   
   Workaround: Deactivate and activate the virtual NIC on the destination ESXi
   host.

 * You cannot use Mellanox ConnectX-5, ConnectX-6 cards Model 1 Level 2 and
   Model 2 for Enhanced Network Stack (ENS) mode in vSphere 8.0
   
   Due to hardware limitations, Model 1 Level 2, and Model 2 for Enhanced
   Network Stack (ENS) mode in vSphere 8.0 is not supported in ConnectX-5 and
   ConnectX-6 adapter cards.
   
   Workaround: Use Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx and ConnectX-6 Dx or later cards that
   support ENS Model 1 Level 2, and Model 2A.

 * Pensando DPUs do not support Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on physical
   switch ports of ESXi hosts
   
   When you enable LLDP on an ESXi host with a DPU, the host cannot receive LLDP
   packets.
   
   Workaround: None.


STORAGE ISSUES

 * VASA API version does not automatically refresh after upgrade to vCenter
   Server 8.0
   
   vCenter Server 8.0 supports VASA API version 4.0. However, after you upgrade
   your vCenter Server system to version 8.0, the VASA API version might not
   automatically change to 4.0. You see the issue in 2 cases:
   
    1. If a VASA provider that supports VASA API version 4.0 is registered with
       a previous version of VMware vCenter, the VASA API version remains
       unchanged after you upgrade to VMware vCenter 8.0. For example, if you
       upgrade a VMware vCenter system of version 7.x with a registered VASA
       provider that supports both VASA API versions 3.5 and 4.0, the VASA API
       version does not automatically change to 4.0, even though the VASA
       provider supports VASA API version 4.0. After the upgrade, when you
       navigate to vCenter Server > Configure > Storage Providers and expand the
       General tab of the registered VASA provider, you still see VASA API
       version 3.5.
   
    2. If you register a VASA provider that supports VASA API version 3.5 with a
       VMware vCenter 8.0 system and upgrade the VASA API version to 4.0, even
       after the upgrade, you still see VASA API version 3.5.
   
   Workaround: Unregister and re-register the VASA provider on the VMware
   vCenter 8.0 system.

 * vSphere Storage vMotion operations might fail in a vSAN environment due to an
   unauthenticated session of the Network File Copy (NFC) manager
   
   Migrations to a vSAN datastore by using vSphere Storage vMotion of virtual
   machines that have at least one snapshot and more than one virtual disk with
   different storage policy might fail. The issue occurs due to an
   unauthenticated session of the NFC manager because the Simple Object Access
   Protocol (SOAP) body exceeds the allowed size.
   
   Workaround: First migrate the VM home namespace and just one of the virtual
   disks. After the operation completes, perform a disk only migration of the
   remaining 2 disks.


VCENTER SERVER AND VSPHERE CLIENT ISSUES

 * If you load the vSphere virtual infrastructure to more than 90%, ESXi hosts
   might intermittently disconnect from vCenter Server
   
   In rare occasions, if the vSphere virtual infrastructure is continuously
   using more than 90% of its hardware capacity, some ESXi hosts might
   intermittently disconnect from the vCenter Server. Connection typically
   restores within a few seconds.
   
   Workaround: If connection to vCenter Server accidentally does not restore in
   a few seconds, reconnect ESXi hosts manually by using vSphere Client.

 * ESXi hosts might become unresponsive, and you see a vpxa dump file due to a
   rare condition of insufficient file descriptors for the request queue on vpxa
   
   In rare cases, when requests to the vpxa service take long, for example
   waiting for access to a slow datastore, the request queue on vpxa might
   exceed the limit of file descriptors. As a result, ESXi hosts might briefly
   become unresponsive, and you see a vpxa-zdump.00* file in the /var/core
   directory. The vpxa logs contain the line Too many open files.
   
   Workaround: None. The vpxa service automatically restarts and corrects the
   issue.

 * If you use custom update repository with untrusted certificates, vCenter
   Server upgrade or update by using vCenter Lifecycle Manager workflows to
   vSphere 8.0 might fail
   
   If you use a custom update repository with self-signed certificates that the
   VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) does not trust, vCenter Lifecycle Manager
   fails to download files from such a repository. As a result, vCenter Server
   upgrade or update operations by using vCenter Lifecycle Manager workflows
   fail with the error Failed to load the repository manifest data for the
   configured upgrade.
   
   Workaround: Use CLI, the GUI installer, or the Virtual Appliance Management
   Interface (VAMI) to perform the upgrade. For more information, see VMware
   knowledge base article 89493.


VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGEMENT ISSUES


VSPHERE LIFECYCLE MANAGER ISSUES

 * You see error messages when try to stage vSphere Lifecycle Manager Images on
   ESXi hosts of version earlier than 8.0
   
   ESXi 8.0 introduces the option to explicitly stage desired state images,
   which is the process of downloading depot components from the vSphere
   Lifecycle Manager depot to the ESXi hosts without applying the software and
   firmware updates immediately. However, staging of images is only supported on
   an ESXi 8.0 or later hosts. Attempting to stage a vSphere Lifecycle Manager
   image on ESXi hosts of version earlier than 8.0 results in messages that the
   staging of such hosts fails, and the hosts are skipped. This is expected
   behavior and does not indicate any failed functionality as all ESXi 8.0 or
   later hosts are staged with the specified desired image.
   
   Workaround: None. After you confirm that the affected ESXi hosts are of
   version earlier than 8.0, ignore the errors.

 * A remediation task by using vSphere Lifecycle Manager might intermittently
   fail on ESXi hosts with DPUs
   
   When you start a vSphere Lifecycle Manager remediation on an ESXi hosts with
   DPUs, the host upgrades and reboots as expected, but after the reboot, before
   completing the remediation task, you might see an error such as:
   
   A general system error occurred: After host … remediation completed,
   compliance check reported host as 'non-compliant'. The image on the host does
   not match the image set for the cluster. Retry the cluster remediation
   operation.
   
   This is a rare issue, caused by an intermittent timeout of the
   post-remediation scan on the DPU.
   
   Workaround: Reboot the ESXi host and re-run the vSphere Lifecycle Manager
   compliance check operation, which includes the post-remediation scan.


VMWARE HOST CLIENT ISSUES

 * VMware Host Client might display incorrect descriptions for severity event
   states
   
   When you look in the VMware Host Client to see the descriptions of the
   severity event states of an ESXi host, they might differ from the
   descriptions you see by using Intelligent Platform Management Interface
   (IPMI) or Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC). For example, in the VMware Host
   Client, the description of the severity event state for the PSU Sensors might
   be Transition to Non-critical from OK, while in the XCC and IPMI, the
   description is Transition to OK.
   
   Workaround: Verify the descriptions for severity event states by using the
   ESXCLI command esxcli hardware ipmi sdr list and Lenovo XCC.


SECURITY FEATURES ISSUES

 * If you use an RSA key size smaller than 2048 bits, RSA signature generation
   fails
   
   Starting from vSphere 8.0, ESXi uses the OpenSSL 3.0 FIPS provider. As part
   of the FIPS 186-4 requirement, the RSA key size must be at least 2048 bits
   for any signature generation, and signature generation with SHA1 is not
   supported.
   
   Workaround: Use RSA key size larger than 2048.

 * Even though you deactivate Lockdown Mode on an ESXi host, the lockdown is
   still reported as active after a host reboot
   
   Even though you deactivate Lockdown Mode on an ESXi host, you might still see
   it as active after a reboot of the host.
   
   Workaround: Add users dcui and vpxuser to the list of lockdown mode exception
   users and deactivate Lockdown Mode after the reboot. For more information,
   see Specify Lockdown Mode Exception Users and Specify Lockdown Mode Exception
   Users in the VMware Host Client.
