The vSphere Client also sees a big leap forward in this release. IвЂ™m happy to say that the installer now works great on Sierra so no more workarounds required. Due to the timing of the release of Sierra and vSphere 6.5, changes to SierraвЂ™s security model were causing problems with the installer. Hopefully these new scale numbers are welcome improvements!ДЄnother exciting improvement is full support for the vCenter Server Appliance installer on macOS Sierra (10.12). Maximum Registered VMs per vSphere Domain: 70,000 (increased from 50,000).Maximum Powered On VMs per vSphere Domain: 50,000 (increased from 30,000).Maximum ESXi Hosts per vSphere Domain: 5000 (increased from 4000).Maximum vCenter Servers per vSphere Domain: 15 (increased from 10).

Here are some of the increased vSphere 6.5 Update 1 numbers: vSphere 6.5 releases prior to Update 1 are still bound by the maximums published here. Note that these maximums are specific to vSphere 6.5 Update 1 and are _not_ retroactive. In this release we have a new maximums guide that can be found here. In vSphere 6.5 Update 1 weвЂ™re increasing some of the maximums related to vSphere Domains (also known as SSO Domains). First, lets talk about scale numbers as that has been a frequent ask and challenge for some customers. There are some exciting enhancements to vCenter Server in this release as well. IвЂ™m happy to announce that vSphere 6.5 Update 1 adds full support for ESXi on MacPro 6,1 hardware! So, if virtualizing macOS is your thing you can now do it on the latest hardware and without workarounds. Many customers and home lab users like to use Mac hardware in order to virtualize macOS in an officially supported manner. For more information on this you can visit. This means that after vSphere 6.5 Update 1, customers using 3rd party virtual switches such as the IBM DVS 5000v, HPE 5900v, and Cisco Nexus 1000v will need to migrate off of those switches prior to upgrading to any future release. This may mean a two-step process for some customers to get to vSphere 6.5 U1 but this is necessary in order to ensure the best possible outcome for the upgrade.ДЄnother item that has been signaled for quite some time is the removal of 3rd party switch support.

Speaking of upgrades, it is important to note that customers who are still on vSphere 5.5 will need to be on at least vSphere 5.5 U3b in order to upgrade to vSphere 6.5 U1. That concern is a thing of the past now, though, and we anticipate even more customers will begin their upgrade journeys. All of the security and bug fixes that were part of 6.0 U3 are now included in 6.5 U1 whereas before, upgrading from 6.0 U3 to 6.5 prior to U1 would have put customers in a more risky position due to the timing of the releases. Without further ado, letвЂ™s take a look under the hood of this highly anticipated release! General Updates and EnhancementsДЇirst and foremost, vSphere 6.5 Update 1 allows customers who are currently on vSphere 6.0 Update 3 to upgrade to vSphere 6.5 Update 1.
