Latest Tested Patches - Listing?

[rboynton]

Is there a place on this forum or on the Veeam website that provides a quick summary of what ESXi versions & associated patches have been tested & approved by Veeam QA? If not, I'd sure like to have that!!

Hi Rick - there is the updates page: https://www.veeam.com/updates.html

Then for smaller, more frequently (and specific) updates - those are via KBs https://www.veeam.com/kb_search_results.html

And you can see a list of them as they are released on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/veeam_kb

Hi Rick,

Those are helpful if I was looking for the latest Veeam release/patch, but what I am looking for is if there would be a place that would show what ESXi build was tested and approved. If there is a newer build available on VMWare's site (or through update manager) that is not shown here, then it would be prudent to NOT install it until tested by Veeam. An example would be:

The following have been tested and approved by Veeam QA:

Version Build Date
ESXi 6.0 10474991 11/5/18
ESXi 6.5 10390116 11/5/18
ESXi 6.7 10302608 11/5/18

Usually that's sorted by release notes, but a page as you outline doesn't exist as-is.

But - when there is an issue - you'll hear the result from QA first in the Forum Digest email, but agreed, it would be nice to have a page like you mention.

Thanks, Rick! Having that one-stop place to look is better than missing a digest email, or having to search the forums for a comment about it.
