This patch updates the  esx-base, esx-update, vsan and vsanhealth VIBs to resolve the following issues:

• PR 2312270: The Secure Shell (SSH) service does not respond after upgrading from ESXi 6.x to 6.7 Update 2

  The SSH service might not respond when an ESXi host upgrades to 6.7 Update 2, because any Unicode characters in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file fail the upgrade of the service. As a result, SSH cannot accept incoming connections after the upgrade.

  This issue is resolved in this release. The fix deletes non-ASCII Unicode characters in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

• PR 2324122: ESXi hosts might fail with a purple diagnostic screen while booting with an error for boot tardisks mounting failure

  ESXi hosts might fail with a purple diagnostic screen while booting due to incorrectly reading a binary file as a tar disk. You might see an error similar to Failed to mount boot tardisks.

  This issue is resolved in this release.
