VMware vCenter 2.5 Update 4 released today!

Duncan Epping · Feb 24, 2009 ·

I just noticed that VMware vCenter 2.5 Update 4 has been released. I wanted to say: download it and install, but looking at the attendee numbers most of my readers will probably be at VMworld!

What’s new?

  • Guest Operating System Customization Improvements – VirtualCenter now supports customization of Windows Server 2008 guest operating systems.
  • Performance Overview Charts – VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 4 introduces the Performance Overview plug-in, which provides a single view of key performance metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and network without having to navigate through multiple charts. The aggregated charts show high-level summaries of resource distribution.
    To install the Performance Overview plug-in, see Installing the Performance Overview Plug-In in VirtualCenter 2.5 Update4 (KB 1008296)

And not totally unimportant Update 4 included two security updates which is why I recommend to take it for a test drive soon and start planning the implementation!

If you get the change install the Performance Overview plugin and email me a screenshot, I don’t think I will have the time today to actually test it…

Changed advanced option in HA not working?

Duncan Epping · Feb 24, 2009 ·

VMware just release this KB article which is definitely one you should read if you use the VMware HA advanced option. In short: When you edit the HA advanced options they do not take effect until you re-enable HA on the cluster.

Be aware of this when implementing or troubleshooting HA it can cost you a lot of time.
