OVA used: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-
cloudimg-amd64.ova
Created a new VM using vSphere 6.5.0 Flash client and Deploy OVF
functionality. Target host is VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5969303, managed
through the vSphere.

version 5.5 (VMWare HW version 10). I later upgraded the VM to ESXi
Compatibility 6.0 (VMWare HW version 11), after which it hung up during

the serial port reproduces the issue, and adding it back resolves it
again.
The issue also reproduces with ESXi Compatibility 6.5 (VMWare HW version
13).
Is there some way to get
