esxi 7.0U3

[jpmomo]

It looks like I may need 7.0U3 in order for the intel e810 nics to properly enable sriov. It works correctly on my systems that were already upgraded to 7.0U3 (before they pulled it) but do not work on 7.0U2. Is there any way to upgrade to 7.0U3 currently? Is there maybe a vib on one of my 7.0U3 systems that I could copy over to the 7.0U2 systems to try and get the intel e810 nics to work with sriov?
thanks,
jp

Maybe this page might help. Lists a bunch of Intel related downloads for ESXi 7.0U3 since it's not available from VMware.
VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 3 on Intel NUC | virten.net

You could also extract the related vib from the ISO & see if it works on U2.

unfortunately, the steps from the nuc site seem to suggest that you still need to download the base 7.0U3 which is not available from vmware. Thanks for the suggestion in either case.

Do you have the original ISO or need alternate links?

i only have the iso for 7.0U2. I would then usually update via the depot until 7.0U3 was removed. I do have a couple of systems that still have 7.0U3 installed but just not the original iso. I haven't been able to find any alternate links yet.

I'll see what I can find after work.

It looks like VMware finally released the update to 7.0u3c.
