Hello, I see that PVS 2402 is no more compatible with BIOS.
Our VDA are in BIOS configurated in VMWARE.
Should we recreate all our VDA in UEFI mode ?
Should we recreate new master ?
Is the PVS server not compatible or can I upgrade PVS Server and let Target Device in 2203 to test ?
Thanks 🙂
Thanks you, I found that but my question is : which component is really not compatible with BIOS ?
We upgraded PVS Console and PVS Server to 2402 CU1.
TDS and VDA for now are in 2203 CU3 and are working.
So I mean, that the component which is not compatible is TargetDevice on VDA ?

I'd have to look in the release notes but I thought in an upgrade scenario BIOS would still work, but any new vDisks will only be UEFI capable

That is correct - existing BIOS targets will continue to operate (for now - that will eventually be dropped as well). You cannot create new BIOS based targets -- we announced the deprecation of BIOS back in 2023 in order to give people time to convert their vDisks before going the next step of disabling creation of new BIOS targets.

Thanks for the answer. Does it mean that on my upgraded farm, I cannot add some new VDA to stream the existing master image in an existing machine catalog ?

That is correct. If you need BIOS then stick with 2203.
