#Vmware vsphere 6.5 ha requirements update#

VSAN 6.5 - iSCSI support and 2-node Direct Connect and Witness traffic separation Encryption is based onВ VMwareвЂ™s Storage Policy Based Management.

VM Encryption and encypted VMotionДЄt least, we can encrypt VMs. If you still do not use this client, you should download it as it works on vSphere 6.0 as well and is updated every week. VSphere Web Client based on HTML 5 is supported as well. The third, built-in backup/restore of VCSA and also already included migration option from vCenter Server for Windows to a vCenter Server Appliance. One reason less to have a windows machine, however still if SRM is used, we have to find a Windows VM (two!) for it рџ™‚ I hope that VMware will change it in a near future рџ‰

#Vmware vsphere 6.5 ha requirements update#

VMware Update Manager (VUM) is already integrated into VCSA. Everybody knows that vCenter is a heart of VMware infrastructure and there could be big impact on some solutions when vCenter is down. Similar to clustered vCenter on Windows, two networks are required: public and private. The second, in my opinion, the most important feature: using native sync replication we can build an Active-Passive cluster with a witness. I hope that this OS will simplify patching or doing maintenance of VCSA. This is a minimal Linux container host, optimized to run on VMware platforms.

At first, VCSA 6.5 runs on VMware Photon OS. VSphere 6.5 provides a lot of new things of vCenter Appliance. vCenter Appliance redesigned and highly available with VUM integrated This week, during VMworld in Barcelona, vSphere 6.5 was announced with cool features which most of them I could test during beta, however now I can write about it.
