Are you upgrading to vSphere 7.0b and not sure what the difference is between 7.0b and 7.0bs? Well that isn’t strange, I had the same problem. I asked around internally and after a bunch of email exchanges, I was informed that the vSphere 7.0bs image is “security updates only”. After I brought it up the team has since quickly modified the release notes to include the following:
| Name and Version | Release Date | Category | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESXi 7.0b – 16324942 | 06/16/2020 | Enhancement | Security and Bugfix image |
| ESXi 7.0bs – 16321839 | 06/16/2020 | Enhancement | Security only image |
Like I said on twitter if you didn’t know, now you know!
Was upgrading our lab to 7.0b and noticed there were 2 images: 7.0b and 7.0bs. After asking around internally it seems that 7.0bs is just the security updates. Where 7.0b also contains bug fixes. If you didn't know, like me, now you know! https://t.co/ixIekHwsr6
