For a long time, customers have been able to use the Broadcom Compatibility Guide to check which ESX versions their servers are compatible with.

With VCF 9, this type of validation has become even more important. However, what if you have several different server models in your environment? With that in mind, I developed a script that connects to your Aria Operations instance, queries for your hosts, and retrieves which versions of ESX they are compatible with.

This allows you to programmatically assess server compatibility across your entire environment from a single script.

You can see how the script works below:

python.exe BCGChecker.py --help

python.exe BCGChecker.py --host aria.node.com --username admin --domain LOCAL --password 'pass123' --no-verify-ssl

Hope it helps!
