![]() ![]() VMware vSphere Update Manager (VUM) integration.VSAN 6.6.1 introduces three key new features: VM Migration – further actions (compute+storage, Cross VC, batch)įor service providers, vSAN 6.6 was another major release that sured up vSANs status as a serious storage platform for service provider platforms.The list below is of the main updates in this release. The HTML5 Web Client has gotten it’s own update that brings it up to speed with the 3.15 Fligng version however it’s still partially functional which remains somewhat frustrating…The online documentation for supported functionality has been updated to vSphere 6.5U1 and is available here. I know this will make a lot of providers happy as I know a lot that had to go to 6.0 Update 3 to address existing bug in the platform but where not yet ready or able to go to 6.5 at the time. This release addresses the previous limitation in the upgrade and migration path for those running vSphere 6.0 U3 in going to vSphere 6.5. Ability to Upgrade or Migrate from vCenter 6.0 Update 3: vCenter now supports Microsoft SQL Server 20 and SP1 as well as some increased configuration maximums supporting Linked Mode with 15 vCenter Instances, 5000 ESXi hosts and 50,000 powered on virtual machines. In terms of new features there isn’t anything groundbreaking but there are a few nice additions like being able to run the VCSA GUI and CLI installers on Windows 20 R2 as well as 2016 and macOS Sierra and Ubuntu 17.04 OS is supported for Guest OS Customization. Without question this is a significant patch release for vCenter and ESXi and the length of the release notes is testament to that point. This update also contains an update to vSAN which is now at 6.6.1 so I’ll spend some time looking at what’s been added there. When looking through the release notes I generally keep an eye out for improvements that relate back to Service Providers who use vSphere as the foundation of their Managed or Infrastructure as a Service offerings. ![]() Late last week VMware released vSphere 6.5 Update 1 which included updated builds of both vCenter and ESXi and as per usual I will go through some of the key features and fixes that are included in the latest versions of vCenter and ESXi. ![]()
