Обсуждение: PostgreSQL version on VMware vSphere ESXI 6.5 and harware version13

Hi,
We are upgrading our VMware version from 5.5 to 6.5.

Is PostgreSQL version 9.1 to 10.1 compatible on VMware vSphere ESXI 6.5 and
harware version 13.

We are upgrading Vmware to version 6.5. 

Operating system for virtual servers will not be changing. The other change
that will be happening is VM hardware version which will be upgraded from
current version ( 9 or 10) to version 13.

Your compatibility is based on the OS, not VMWare. As long as you are 
using a PostgreSQL compatible OS you are fine.

Thanks JD.

Like i said we are not changing OS at all. WE are just upgrading VMWare from
ESXi 5.5 to 6.5 and hardware from version 10 to 13.

We are using Linux 6, 7.

By just upgrading VMWare will it affects the performane of postgres
databases?

(VMware human here).

Upgrading ESX or other VMware-related components has nothing to do with
PostgreSQL.  Some of the products may embed a version of PostgreSQL to
store some of their meta-data or other things, in which case the upgrade
to a newer PostgreSQL version, if need be, will be taken care of by the
product itself.  If you are using your own set of PostgreSQL instances,
then that's up to what you have at OS level.
