VMware ESX 7.0 Update 2c released

VMware has released ESXi 7.0 Update 2c (7.0.2c), this is a bug fixing version.

This patch should fix the problem with boot from USB or SD-Card, where it after some time loses access to the boot device, and locks the host management, with a workaround could you in some cases vMotion the workloads to other hosts.

• PR 2753546: If you use a USB boot device, connection to the /bootbank partition might break or the VMFS-L LOCKER partition gets corruptedIf the USB host controller disconnects from your vSphere system and any resource on the device, such as dump files, is still in use by ESXi, the device path cannot be released by the time the device reconnects. As a result, ESXi provides a new path to the USB device, which breaks connection to the /bootbank partition or corrupts the VMFS-L LOCKER partition.This issue is resolved in this release. The fix enhances the USB host controller driver to tolerate command timeout failures to allow ESXi sufficient time to release USB device resources.
  As a best practice, do not set dump partition on USB storage device. For more information, see VMware knowledge base articles 2077516 and 2149257.
