Any testing yet with 6.7?

#1

I was about to upgrade to ESXi 6.7, but maybe I should check for compatibility issues with Vertical Backup first. Has any testing been done yet?

#2

No, I haven’t tested Vertical Backup with 6.7 yet. Maybe sometime next week.

#3

I was using the base install of 6.7.0 and verticalbackup was working.

I just upgraded to the latest update. VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, Update 1, 10302608 and now I get an error with this version.

[root@esx01:/vmfs/volumes/vertical_esx01] ./vertical backup test01
Vertical Backup 1.2.1
/bin/vim-cmd: /tmp/_MEIZu6p6w/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /lib64/libpng16.so.16)
Failed to read the license ID
[root@esx01:/vmfs/volumes/vertical_esx01]

Any update here?

Can you try version 1.2.2 available from http://acrosync.com/esxi/vertical?

I can’t download ESXi 6.7 Update 1, but I tested this new version on a 6.7 machine with libpng16 that requires ZLIB_1.2.9 and it worked correctly.

@Rayinyvr you need to open the outgoing ssh port. Below is copied from https://communities.vmware.com/thread/425852:

You need to open the required ssh ports in the ESXi firewall.

In the vSphere Client check the host -> Configuration -> Security Profile -> Firewall -> Properties

and enable “SSH Client” if you need outgoing scp connections resp.
