Description

On System Overview Report we have SDDC Manager, vCenter, NSX and vRealize component version but there is no ESXi version. It will be good to have ESXi version per cluster or Hardware Overview.

Use Case(s)

We have situation where customer stated that they deployed whole setup with higher version then BoM. When we check System Overview Report we could not find ESXi version, and also in other pages (Health, ALert...)
Then we notice in sddc-all-health-results.json for ESXi hosts "message": "Failed. Version mismatch found for ESXI:esxi-zg-14.hsc. BOM version 7.0.3-19482537, Component Running installed version 7.0.3-20036589 and VCF Inventory version 7.0.3-20036589 are not as expected.".

Potential Configuration

Adding ESXi version in one of the below places of System Overview Report:

• vSphere Cluster Overview (ideally)
• Dedicated section for ESXi only
• Hardware Overview
