Identify the vCenter Server managed ESXi hosts and Virtual Machine maximums (new in vSphere 5)

Vedere il documento: Configuration Maximums for VMware vSphere 5.0. Le principali differenze rispetto a vSphere 4.1 sono:

  • Virtual Machine Maximums: 32 vCPU (instead of 8 ) and 1 TB vRAM (instead of 255 GB)
  • ESXi Host Maximums: 512 VM per host (instead of 320), 2048 vCPU per host (instead of 512), 2 TB RAM (instead of 1 TB), 256 NFS mounts per host (instead of 64)
  • vCenter Server Maximums: quite the same of v 4.1
  • VUM Maximums: more concurrent operations

Identify Cloning and Template options (similar as vSphere 4.x)

Vedere la vSphere Virtual Machine Administration Guide (pag. 43).

Vi sono differenti possibili scelte per la destinazione: quale cluster e/o host, quale datastore, quale formato di disco VMDK, se eseguire o meno una customization (modifica al sistema operativo guest per cambiarne alcuni parametri, quali il nome, l’IP, …), power on e/o modificare le VM Properties.
