Looking For Other Certified Custom ISOs or Add-ons?

1. For each VCF/VVF release(Major, minor and maintenance), Broadcom hosts only the most recent certified OEM Custom ISO and Addon.
2. VCF utilizes separate pages for different release types:
   
   • Major: 9.0.0.0, 10.0.0, etc.
   • Minor: 9.1.0.0, 9.2.0.0, etc.
   • Maintenance: 9.0.1.0, 9.0.2.0, 9.1.1.0, 9.1.2.0, etc.

Notes:

• If an OEM updates a VCF Custom ISO/Addon for a maintenance release, it will be posted on that specific maintenance release page. For example, a Custom ISO/Addon update for the 9.0.2.0 release will be hosted under 9.0.2.0, while the Custom ISO/Addon under 9.0.0.0 and 9.0.1.0 will remain available. Any subsequent refreshes for 9.0.2.0 will replace the existing file on that same page.
• OEMs are responsible to host any older versions of Custom ISO and Add-on not listed on Broadcom support portal. Refer OEM’s website or contact your OEM representative
