Broadcom removed public access to VDDK download links
-
Hi everyone,
Some of you may already be aware of this but I learned the news this morning.
Essentially, Broadcom has decided, without any announcement, to remove all download links (and even some documentation it seems) for VDDK.
This impacts all migration tools that use the VDDK for copying data of VM disks.If you have any version of VDDK, please keep it somewhere safe and make backups.
I only have a x86-64 linux release from september 2025 that I used for testing V2V. Obviously, I can't share any link here but the release has the following sha256 hash:
79d215198f1b8fd1d240a16b27ac2543c521ae2afdc1876444c2acf8945d74ca VMware-vix-disklib-9.0.0.0.24742305.x86_64.tar.gz
Apparently, web archival links are also taken down.
