vCenter Server 6.0 Features


vCenter Server Features - Enhanced Capabilities

Metric Windows Appliance

Hosts per VC 1,000 1,000

Powered-On VMs per VC 10,000 10,000

Hosts per Cluster 64 64

VMs per Cluster 8,000 8,000

Linked Mode ✔ ✔

•Scalability supported by both Windows Install and vCenter Server appliance.

•Windows install supports Postgres and External SQL and Oracle DBs.

•vCSA supports embedded Postgres and external Oracle DBs.


vCenter Server 6.0 - Platform Services Controller

Platform Services Controller includes takes it beyond just Single Sign-On. It groups:Single Sign-On (SSO)LicensingCertificate Authority

Two Deployment Models:•Embedded

vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in one virtual machine

- Recommended for small deployments where there is less then two SSO integrated solutions

•ExternalvCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in their own virtual machines

- Recommended for most deployments where there are two or more SSO integrated solutions

Platform Services Controller

PSC

vCenter

vCenter


•Provisions each ESXi host, each vCenter Server and vCenter Server service with certificates that are signed by VMCA

New vCenter Server solutions for complete certificate lifecycle management:

vCenter Server 6.0 - Certificate Lifecycle Management for vCenter and ESXi

While you can decide not to use VMCA in your certificate chain, you must use VECS to store all certificates, and keys for vCenter Server and services.All ESXi certificates are stored locally on the host.

VMware Endpoint Certificate Service (VECS)

VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA)

•Stores all certificates and private keys for vCenter Server and vCenter Server services•Managing VECS is done via vecs-cli


vCenter Server 6.0 -Cross vSwitch vMotion

•Transparent operation to the guest OS•Works across different types of virtual switches

–vSS to vSS–vSS to vDS–vDS to vDS

•Requires L2 network connectivity–Does not change the IP of the VM

•Transfers vDS port metadata

•Simultaneously changes–Compute–Storage–Network–vCenter

•vMotion without shared storage•Increased scale

vCenter Server 6.0 - Long Distance vMotion

•Intra-continental distances – up to 150ms RTTs •Maintain standard vMotion guarantees

•Does not require VVOLs, but supported•Replication Support

–Active/Active only•Synchronous•Asynchronous

•Use Cases:–Permanent migrations –Disaster avoidance–Multi-site load balancing


vCenter Server 6.0 – vMotion Requirements

•ESX & vCenter 6.0+ at both source and destination•SSO Domain

–Same SSO domain to use the UI–Different SSO domain possible if using API

•250 Mbps network bandwidth per vMotion operation

–Unchanged from previous versions

•L2 network connectivity on VM network portgroups

–IP addresses are retained

•VM UUID maintained across vCenter server instances

–Not the same as MoRef or BIOS UUID

•Data Preservation

–Events, Alarms, and Tasks History

•HA/DRS Settings

•Affinity/Anti-Affinity Rules

•Automation level

•Start-up priority

•Host isolation response

–VM Resource Settings

•Shares

•Reservations

•Limits

–MAC Address of virtual NIC

•MAC Addresses preserved across vCenters

–Always unique within a vCenter

–Not reused when VM leaves vCenter

FeaturesRequirements


vCenter Server 6.0 - Content Library Overview

•Simple content management–VM templates–vApps–ISO images–Scripts

•Store and manage content–One central location to manage all content

•Beyond templates within vCenter–Support for other file types

•Share content–Store once, share many times

•Publish/Subscribe–vCenter -> vCenter–vCloud Director -> vCenter

•Consume content–Deploy templates to a host or a cluster


vCenter Server 6.0 - vSphere Web Client

•Usability Improvements–Can get anywhere in one click–Right click menu has been flattened–Recent tasks are back at the bottom–Dockable UI
