VMware vShield Endpoint Thin Agent as VMware Tools Guest Introspection plugin – The vShield Endpoint driver bundled with VMware Tools is now called Guest Introspection.Support for hosts with 6TB of RAM – vSphere 5.5 Update 2 starts to support hosts with 6TB of RAM.I cover in details what's new in vCenter server in the section below. See what's editable options with vSphere Client C++ in vSphere Update 2:Īlso new, for vCenter server: vCenter server now supports SQL 2014, Oracle 12c and SQL server 2012 with SP1. Not All properties however are editable (you can't use or edit AHCI for SATA for CD rom or Disks for example). Update: I just quickly tested: I updated the vsphere client (not vcenter) to see if any restrictions were lifted and yes, you can edit VMX-10 hardware VMs now -:) So only vSphere web client had to be used. In Previous release the vSphere client could not edit configuration of VMs with vmx-10. VSphere 5.5 Update 2 allows using a vSphere Client (C++ version) to modify and edit VMs configuration based on virtual hardware 10. With over a 100 bug fixes this release also brings many new additions as support for new chipsets and support for hosts with up to 6 TB of RAM. New release of VMware vSphere 5.5 Uupdate 2 yesterday.

It is also still recommended to use the Web Client, when you are using vSphere 5.1 or later. It is compatible to all vSphere 5.5 versions:ĭownload: VMware vSphere Client 5.5 Update 2Įven with the new client, you cannot create Virtual Machines with Hardware Version 9 or 10.
Just download the the new Client from the U2 package. If you cant to edit the advanced features of this virtual machine, please use the vSphere Web Client to login to vCenter.īest fact is that you do not need to update ESXi or vCenter to the latest version. Only version 8 features will be available for Edit using this client. You are about to edit a virtual machine of version 10 er higher. With the new client, you only get a warning: Use the vSphere Web Client to edit the settings of this virtual machine. You cannot use the vSphere Client to edit the settings of virtual machines of version 10 or higher. With the vSphere Client you would usually see the following error message: All 5.1/5.5 features are still only available with the vSphere Web Client. Understandably you can only edit pre-5.1 features. Instead of getting an error message when trying to edit Virtual Machines with Hardware Version 10 you can now reconfigure these machines with the legacy C# client.
Slightly hidden in vSphere 5.5 Update 2 there is a new vSphere C# Client that can edit Virtual Machines running the latest Virtual Hardware (vmx-10).
