What is the difference between VMV7 vs VMV8 OVA Template?

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between VMV7 and VMV8 (For example cucm_9.1_vmv7_v1.6.ova and cucm_9.1_vmv8_v1.6.ova?

As per my understanding, i found the configurations to be almost similar between VMV7 and VMV8 like Number of CPUs, RAM, OS, HDD. Only difference i found is choosing the right OVA for right ESXi version. Below is how you choose/decide whether to use VMV7 or VMV8.

– ESXi support: ESXi 4.0 (VM version 7) and beyond
– ESXi support: ESXi 5.0 (VM version 8) and beyond

Below is what i found from the Scope of OVA Read me.

Hope it helps!!
