Of course, I am sure this would be an un-supported configuration from both Dell and VMware’s perspectives, but for my home lab this isn’t a concern for me.Īs a reminder, my lab components are in the below matrix. If I can get another few years of use out of the 11 th gens in my lab on the latest VMware rev, I will be a very happy admin J I have already had success prior to this post upgrading a Dell R210 to 6.0 by applying the vanilla VMware ESXi 6.0 image on top of the OEM 5.5 installation, so I am hoping for the same success here with the R410. ![]() Luckily, the upgrade process to 6.0 leaves any custom VIBs, including 3 rd party drivers that may already be in place on a previous 5.x version install. Sadly, it looks like 5.5 will be the last supported VMware revision from Dell on the 11 th generation server set. Unfortunately, Dell’s site does not supply an OEM rolled ISO of vSphere 6.0 for the 11 th generation Dell hardware. I am going to be upgrading a Dell R410 in this post, from ESXi 5.5u2 to ESXi 6.0 Express Patch 5.
