Notes:

This Synergy Custom ESXi Image (703.0.0.10.9.5.14) and associated Synergy Custom AddOn has an updated lpfc driver that no longer supports the HPE Synergy 3530C 16G FC HBA. The last supported versions with the 3530C FC HBA are the HPE Synergy Custom ESXi Image for VMware ESXi 7.0 U3 (Jan 2022) and the HPE-Custom-Syn-AddOn_703.0.0.10.8.6-3.

In a setup that contains 3530C HBAs, HPE recommends that you do not upgrade to the 703.0.0.10.9.5.14 custom image and associated version of the lpfc driver, as this will result in the loss of FC LUN access. In a boot-from-SAN configuration, the system will stop booting the OS.
