Overview

After a change in the root certificate authority in a vCenter instance, when you use vSphere Auto Deploy to boot ESXi hosts, the TLS handshake with the vCenter might not succeed. As a result, booting of the hosts fails with a message such as Could not boot image: Invalid argument (http://ipxe.org/err/1c0de8) . This issue is resolved in this release. For more information, see KB 96827 .
