VMware vSphere 9 compatibility roadmap for XIQ-SE, ExtremeAnalytics and ExtremeControl

[J_Luis]

Hello,

We have a customer preparing a migration of their virtualization infrastructure to VMware vSphere 9 and we are trying to understand the current support status and roadmap for Extreme virtual appliances.

Current deployment:

• XIQ Site Engine 23.11.12.3
• ExtremeAnalytics 23.11.12.3
• ExtremeControl (NAC) 23.11.12.3
• VE6120 Small 10.07.01.0029

After reviewing the currently available compatibility documentation, we can only find official support references up to VMware 8.

We understand that a platform can sometimes operate correctly before formal certification is published. However, we would like to know if anyone has information regarding:

• Official support status for VMware vSphere / ESXi 9.
• Any field experience running these appliances on VMware 9.
• Planned releases that will include VMware 9 certification.
• Public roadmap or ETA for updated compatibility matrices.

Any feedback from the community or Extreme employees would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Extreme Networks has not yet officially certified or published support matrices for running virtual appliances (XIQ Site Engine, ExtremeAnalytics, ExtremeControl, or VE6120) on VMware vSphere/ESXi 9.0. While these Linux-based OVF/OVA appliances generally deploy without major issues using legacy ESXi hardware compatibility modes, running them on uncertified hypervisor versions carries risk, as Extreme GTAC support will treat hypervisor-level issues on a best-effort basis. Because Extreme Networks handles future product qualifications under strict NDA, public ETAs and compatibility updates are only provided upon official release notes publication; you should contact your dedicated Extreme Networks account team or Systems Engineer to request an official NDA roadmap review for vSphere 9 validation.
