ESXi 6.0 server compatibility
Scheduled Maintenance Report for Bare Metal Cloud
Completed
As of now, VMware ESXi 6.0 is not compatible with our 2016 HOST dedicated server range.
The reason is the motherboard which is used, that contains a very recent Network interface not yet supported by Intels ixgbe driver shipped with ESXi (any version).
An updated release is planned for early November 2015, we're following the developments closely and will run tests and update our installation images as soon as a fix becomes available.

Update(s):
