Hardware Compatibility Data

The hardware compatibility data contains information about the compatibility between
ESXi
hosts and
ESXi
versions.
You can use the
CompatibilityData
service to retrieve information about the compatibility data or to update the local compatibility data on a
vCenter Server
instance. To retrieve information about the compatibility data stored on your
vCenter Server
instance,
use the
GET https://
<vcenter_ip_address_or_fqdn>
/api/esx/hcl/compatibility-data/status
request
. To update the local compatibility data with the latest version available from the official VMware source,
use the
POST https://
<vcenter_ip_address_or_fqdn>
/api/esx/hcl/compatibility-data?action=download&vmw-task=true
request
.
