That being said the venerable C# Client, vSphere Client, Thick Client or whatever you want to call it, for most engineers and administrators is still way better than the vSphere Web Client or the HTML5 Client. I understand the need to consolidate development and to modernize the interface. I’m in the camp that believes this was a bad move. The message appeared intentional so I have to assume this changed from vSphere 6 and Log Insight 3.x or it’s always been this way. The FAQ indicates multiple hosts can be assigned licenses but when I added a vCenter it said this license only works for a single host. It also now comes free with a vCenter license and grants you 25 OSIs. I was recently introduced to Log Insight and I’ll admit it’s interesting, with it’s integration with vROPS among a number of notable improvements.I did get a new message indicating the CPU may not be supported in a future version though. As an aside I recently installed vSphere 6.5 onto a Dell R710, which is currently unsupported, and it works fine. This list is definitely going to change as support is verified but it’s certainly something you’ll want to check before upgrading. There are still a ton of older and newer hardware & servers that aren’t yet compatible with vSphere 6.5.I’m sure VMware is working on getting those products compatible so this is really a minor complaint. VMware NSX is on the list and you can check out the others here. There are a few VMware products not yet compatible with vSphere 6.5 as of the writing of this article.Compatibility with other VMware products.This is a really short list as I mentioned before. I figure let’s get the ugly out of the way before we start with the awesome. This may be a bit of a read, so I won’t waste space reposting images from the What’s New. I’ll try and not be redundant and give you my quick thoughts on the features I find the most interesting. Many sites have published articles on a lot of these features already. If you want the VMware marketing take you can check out the “ What’s New in VMware vSphere 6.5” PDF they published recently. It’s certainly not all roses and rainbows here but the list of negatives is far outweighed by the positives. Packed with new features and updates, many of which people have been asking for since forever.
