R720 Vmware Compatibility

[Rozella Dibley]

ivegot a customer in a mixed environment (HPE Proliant Gen9 and CN-3000) and he wants to update the vcenter to 6.7 because of needed functionality. Now, as far as i can see from the compatibility list, the cn-3000 is not supported with vCenter 6.7. but in my test environment the cn-3000 works with vCenter 6.7..

My question now is if it is supported to run the cn-3000 with a vCenter 6.7 since the SimpliVity functionality works. On the other side it would be hard to exlain to the customer that he has to buy 4 neew nodes to go to version 6.7. since the dell r720 is still in the compatibility matrix for 6.7

Indeed the CN-3000 is still supported on vCenter 6.7, from a Simplivity standpoint they will need to ensure that they are running on Omnistack versions 3.7.8 or higher to stay within the supported remit.

the problem is that the Dell Interoperability Guide is for the CN-3400 or Dell730. The CN-3000 is a Dell720 and if i take a look in the HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Interoperability Guide 3.7.8 i can see thta the latest supported vCenter version is 6.5.

For vSphere 6.7 support information for all other Dell systems, reference theHPE SimpliVity OmniStack 3.7.9 for Dell Interoperability Guide =a00072857en_us we can use the below version of Supported versions as below
