Symptoms

vCenter Server Appliance displays the following message on ESXi Host Client. It would not come up on Web Client.

"The configured guest OS (Other 3.x Linux (64-bit)) for this virtual machine does not match the guest that is currently running (VMware Photon OS (64-bit)). You should specify the correct guest OS to allow for guest-specific optimizations."

Cause

It is supported to deploy vCenter Server Appliance on ESXi host 5.5 or later, so vCenter Server Appliance keeps its compatibility with hardware version 10. There were some implementations change to take care of the guest configuration (not only vCenter Server Appliance but also other Linux distributions including Photon OS), and this causes the messages.

The following combinations would apply to this case:

ESXi >= 6.5 + vCenter Server Appliance >= 6.7 U1

ESXi >= 6.5 + vCenter Server Appliance >= 6.5 U2d

Impact / Risks

It has no effect on vCenter Server Appliance.

Resolution

This messages indicates just a warning. It could be ignored.

Note: This is normal warning. Do not update your hardware version.

Related Information

Don't modify the setting of vCenter Server Appliance such as hardware version or Guest OS ID, it's not supported. See KB 2090839.
