Guest compatibility on VMware 6.7
Hi, I am upgrading our VMware cluster from 6.0 to 6.7. I encountered an issue with a VM guest with a very old OS (Open Suse 11.4).
VM runs fine on 6.0 hosts, but is not working on hosts already upgraded to 6.7.
I don't think is an issue with virtualized hard disk (LSI, Scsi controller, IDE controller, I tried all); system "hangs" immediately after kernel loading.
I checked this URL:
https://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/guest-os/linux/suse-linux-enterprise
and I would like to understand if there is no chance at all.
Any suggestion?
Thank you very much

I didn't change hardware version. I just upgraded some ESXi hosts from 6.0 to 6.7
On 6.0 hosts, VM is still running fine.
If I try to move such VM to another host (with 6.7), doesn't boot.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
