PCNS 4.4.1 ESXi Virtual Appliance - Obsolete?

[stevendt]

The installation instructions for PCNS 4.4.1 for ESXi advises to upgrade the OS to get the latest security patches after the VA has been installed. The VA is built on Centos 8 which went EOL on 1st Jan 2022 so pulling updates does not work.

Does anyone know if the VA is going to be updated to use Centos Stream?

The next release of PCNS VM will be include AlmaLinux. I do not have a release date but will post back when I know more.

Hi Bill,

Any update on this? I see that the Alma based version of PCNS4.5 for VXRail has been available since at least the beginning of February.

Thought you might want to know the AlmaLinux based appliance is available now.
