Hey Quest!
How soon (or not) should we expect ESXi 6.7 compatibility with vRanger? Do you guys have an ETA on when to expect a formal announcement?
Thanks!

Hi There,
I confirmed with vRanger product management that we are currently on plan to meet our 90 day SLA for support of new ESXi versions.
In the next couple weeks I expect to have a release date…
Hello Adrian,
We are expecting to release a new vRanger version by the end of July that will support ESXi 7.6.
Hello Adrian,

Hello, we will support ESXi 6.7. The VMware 6.7 release came late April. As Rob mentioned above, the release is set to be by the end of July. Please remember that the developer version of the VDDK 6.7 is not the same as the general availability version, so additional testing and fixing is required.
The Initial 6.7 vddk (basically what we use to access the disks of the VMs) release was on April 17th 2018. The initial release had some issues that were not addressed until VMware released 6.7.0 EP1 on May 24th 2018.

Once our 7.6.6 release went to QA for testing we ran into another issue we considered to be a blocker. We have an open support case with VMware and are awaiting a fix.
If you have already upgraded to ESXi 6.7 or have any other questions in regards to this topic I suggest opening a support ticket and referencing this post, we may be able to provide a solution or work around for issues you may be facing.
Hi rpowell,
Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear the updated release date is only a couple of weeks out.
If you'd be interested in a early adopter\customer tester let me know - I upgraded my vranger to new hardware a couple of months ago, but still have my old hw with vranger 7.6.4 around and could upgrade that old instance (which had data) and backup my 6.7 test lab and some 6.0 if needed, and could even upgrade my dr vsphere env to 6.7 and load a bunch of test vms on it to test backup and restore. If you're interested reach out to me at my username at williams.edu
Thanks
