Au menu de vSphere 5.1

Nous attendons toujours l’accès au binaires et aux documents pour plus de détails mais pour les flémars voici une petite liste des trucs croustillants que nous avons noté dans les What’s new de vSphere 5.1 annoncé hier au VMworld 2012 SF :

• No more vRAM (5.0+)
• In vSphere 5.1, the VMware vSphere Web Client is the new primary point for vSphere management
• 64 vCPU support
• vGPU support (NVIDIA + view)
• SE sparse disk (Guest OS Storage Reclamation)
• vMotion and Storage vMotion in one operation
• Zero-downtime upgrade for VMware Tools (5.1+)
• The vSphere Web Client adds support for interrupt-driven workloads
• Maximum number of hosts that can share a read-only file on a VMFS is increased to 32
• In vSphere 5.1, a new time-out value for APD is being introduced
• VMware provides a generic SMART plug-in in vSphere 5.1
• Automatically SIOC tuning congestion threshold
• SIOC correlation detector
• Auto Deploy “stateless caching” and “stateful installs”
• VDS Configuration Backup and Restore / automatic rollback and recovery
• LACP support
• Network Health Check
• SR-IOV support
• vSphere 5.1 has introduced the ability to swap out and reduce the memory reservation for several of the vSphere backend processes
• Latency Sensitivity Feature

VMware a également ”gratuifié” vSphere Replication sans SRM mais la VR appliance reste mandatory contrairement au modèle d’Hyper-V Replica, ce qui nous apparaît donc comme une piètre riposte de dernière minute…
