Hello everybody?
I have be asked by my customer recently.
Customers have many ESXi hosts without SAN infra or HA, those hosts just holds local storage VMs, they want to upgrade their ESXi RAID drive use esxcli software vib install -v xxx.vib via ssh. command perform successfully but need to reboot to effect. Customer don't want to reboot immediately since reboot needs shutdown all VMs which hold by this host due to local storage infra, So they want to wait a appropriate maintenance window time to recur reboot it. but they want to consult me that if has any impact or risk not reboot host after installed or updated ESXi driver? (Customers have about 80 hosts need to update driver ) Does anybody know it about ? if have office announcement or document proved that's impossbile or have a risk that will cause Crash or PSOD ESXi host if don't reboot server for a long time?? I real appriciate your kindly suggestion or reply, thanks for your help in advance!
