    VMware vSphere 6.7 Update1, What's New ?

    VMware vSphere 6.7 Update1, What's New ?

    During the VMworld event in Las Vegas, VMware has announced the new major update to their virtualization product, VMware vSphere 6.7 U1. This new release introducing new features and enhancements. Taken from VMware's blog official website witten by Adam Eckerle, here is the new things for this release.
     
    1. Fully Featured HTML-5 based vSphere Client
    2. vCenter Server Converge Tool
    3. Enhancements for HCI and vSAN
    4. Enhanced Content Library
    5. vMotion for NVIDIA vGPU VMs;Support for Inter FPGA

    vSphere Client
    From vSphere 6.7 U1 onward, the vSphere Client is the only client you’ll need to manage vCenter Server. all administrative functions have now been completed for the vSphere Client. No more switching between clients to perform actions such as setting up a vCenter HA (VCHA) cluster or using vSphere Update Manager (VUM) to update VMware Tools. Many of the latest additions have not only showed up in the vSphere Client but they’ve also been improved in the process.

    vCenter Server Converge Tool
    This tool allows an administrator to migrate from an external Platform Services Controller (PSC) architecture into the simpler, easy-to-manage embedded PSC architecture. This means fewer VMs to manage, no more load balancers for HA, and no complex multi-site replication topologies. While we announced support for Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) with embedded PSCs for vSphere 6.7 and vSphere 6.5 U2, many customers already had external PSC topologies.

    Enhancements for HCI and vSAN
    In this release VMware added a new workflow called Cluster Quickstart which provides one simple, efficient wizard to create a cluster, add hosts, and configure those hosts so they are all identical. This configuration includes HA & DRS, Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC), a vSAN datastore, and networking including a Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS). With Cluster Quickstart you can go from zero to fully functioning cluster in a matter of minutes. And, when it is time to expand the cluster, there is a simple workflow to add new hosts and configure them using the cluster settings used during initial setup. This new workflow also includes a cluster validation that can be used to ensure all settings have been properly configured on all hosts and will report any discrepancies.

    Enhanced Content Library
    Content Library in vSphere 6.7 Update 1 enables the importing of OVA templates from a HTTPS endpoint and local storage, as well as syncing content from OVA templates to other vCenter Servers. As part of the import of OVA templates, Content Library handles and verifies the OVA bundle’s certificate and manifest files in adherence to security best practices. In addition, Content Library now natively supports VM templates (VMTX) and associated operations such as deploying a VM directly from Content Library. These improvements make working with Content Libraries more efficient and prevent the need to copy objects in and out of Content Library to do meaningful operations. Note that syncing of VM templates to another vCenter Server is not yet available in vSphere 6.7 Update 1.

    vMotion for NVIDIA vGPU & Support for Intel FPGA
    With vSphere 6.7 Update 1, VMware and NVIDIA have collaborated to significantly enhance the operational flexibility and utilization of virtual infrastructure accelerated with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) solutions which include the Quadro virtual Data Center Workstation, GRID vPC and GRID vApps.
