Last week a customer asked the question why the VMware HCL listed products that are certified with one version update but not the other. For example, the HCL shows HP BL620c G7 lists on ESXi4U2 but NOT ESXi4U1.
The HCL Small Print:
The detailed lists show actual vendor devices that are either physically
tested or are similar to the devices tested by VMware or VMware partners.
VMware provides support only for the devices that are listed in this
document.
What this translates to in the real world is that often the HCL exposes the time aspect of updating compatibility. If the server was released after a version of vSphere then it will not be listed for the previous versions, even though it may perform correctly.
