Learn how VMware Skyline Advisor and Skyline Health Diagnostics work together to
provide proactive intelligence and self-service log analysis.
 * Use Skyline Advisor to avoid issues before they occur across VCF, vSphere,
   vSAN, NSX, vROps & Horizon. Skyline Findings are based on top KBs, VMSAs/CVEs
   and design best practices.
 * Use Skyline Health Diagnostics to root cause vSphere & vSAN logs when an
   issue occurs. Skyline Health Diagnostic Findings are based on top KBs and
   VMSA/CVEs. You can use the Skyline Health Diagnostics tool in online or
   offline mode.
 * If you require additional help from technical support, please use Skyline
   Advisor to initiate a Log Assist to reduce time to upload logs. TSEs can also
   initiate logs to reduce effort.


PURPOSE

This article provides information on the End of General Support for vSphere 6.0,
which includes vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 6.0 and vCenter Server 6.0.




RESOLUTION

The End of General Support for vSphere 6.0 is March 12, 2020. To maintain your
full level of Support and Subscription Services, VMware recommends upgrading to
vSphere 6.5 or vSphere 6.7. VMware has extended the general support for vSphere
6.5 to a full six years from date of release, which means the general support
for vSphere 6.5 will end on October 15, 2022. The End of General support for
vSphere 6.7 will be on October 15, 2022. For more information on the benefits of
upgrading and how to upgrade, visit the VMware vSphere Upgrade Center.

If you would like assistance in moving to a newer version of vSphere, VMware’s
vSphere Upgrade Service is available. This service delivers a comprehensive
guide to upgrading your virtual infrastructure. It includes recommendations for
planning and testing the upgrade, the actual upgrade itself, validation guidance
and rollback procedures. For more information, contact your Technical Account
Manager or visit VMware Professional Services and VMware Consulting Engagement
Request.

Technical Guidance for vSphere 6.0 is available until March 12, 2022 primarily
through the self-help portal. During the Technical Guidance phase, VMware does
not offer new hardware support, server/client/guest OS updates, new security
patches or bug fixes unless otherwise noted. For more information, visit VMware
Lifecycle Support Phases.
