I successfully upgraded my vCenter from 7 to 8 and that part looks pretty happy. \nWith that update came the notice that Baselines are deprecated and I needed to use Images to manage the hosts going forward. Fine, I clicked the ‘convert from baseline to image’ button.<\/p>\n

I create an image, selecting ESXi 8.0 U3d, the HPE Customizations for HPE Servers 803.xxx latest, then Validate.<\/p>\n

What model are your hosts?<\/p>\n
Try this on a test machine first to ensure after upgrade you still have network.<\/p>\n
Did you confirm on the HCL that your servers are supported?<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2025-04-03T07:51:14.062Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/vcenter-esxi-7-to-8-host-not-compatible-with-the-image/1192599/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

I am not sure about HPe… but recently a few of my Dell servers had relatively same update issues (I think one of the updates require ISO but admin went to update).<\/p>\n
The workaround is maybe to reinstall latest ESXi using the manufacturer ISO instead of updating, although the ISO have option to update, but for that effort, a clean re-install could be better ?<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2025-04-03T04:36:37.081Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/vcenter-esxi-7-to-8-host-not-compatible-with-the-image/1192599/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"adrian_ych","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/adrian_ych"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
