ESXi 7.0.2 Update 2a – potentially killing SD/USB?
Christian Mohn just posted about a situation where he began having issues with his boot drive (a USB device).
This is a known issue at VMware, KB # 83376.
In short, since 7.0 was released, with the changes in the boot drive partition scheme, I have been rethinking a 12/13 year old habit of using SD cards for the boot drive of an ESXi server…..maybe its time to start doing internal NVMe or SSD only…..
