When purchasing any of the licenses described above, you also have to buy a vCenter Server Standard license. VSphere with Operations Management Enterprise – in addition to these options, Standard and Enterprise editions offer means of automatic analysis, resource and performance management.

VM Encryption − encryption of virtual machine files and vMotion traffic using AES-NI.

vGPU – an opportunity to share a graphic adapter (GPU) by several VMs.

Cross-VC vMotion – migration of VMs between vCenter servers.

Host Profiles and Auto Deploy - host profiles and automatic deployment.

Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) – virtualization of a single PCIe device into several virtual devices.

I/O Controls (Storage and Network) – access prioritization due to continuous I/O workload monitoring.

Storage DRS – automatic balancing of disk resource workload.

Distributed Switch – centralized management of the network configuration.Reliable Memory – optimal placement of VMkernel blocks in the memory.Distributed Power Management – optimization of power consumption due to switching off idle hosts.Distributed Resource Scheduler – balancing the workload between hosts.In addition to Standard features, vSphere Enterprise edition offers the following options: From a single console, you gain deeper visibility into vSphere’s configuration of. Installing vCS allows vSphere administrators to manage multiple ESXi hosts and virtual machines (VMs) from a single pane of glass.

APIs for Array Integration, Multipathing – API storage interfaces to integrate arrays and manage alternative paths vCenter Server is a centralized management software for provisioning, configuring and monitoring VMware vSphere infrastructure.Multi-VC Content Library – centralized management of VM templates, vApp, IOS and scripts.APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) – vCenter and disk array integration.Storage-Policy Management (SPBM) – an automatic storage management.Virtual Volumes ( VVOLs) – a virtualization of SAN and NAS storage devices.VM Data Replication – an optimized data replication using WAN.Storage vMotion – an online migration of virtual disk files between storage devices.vMotion, Cross-Switch vMotion – an online migration of VMs between servers or virtual switches.Fault Tolerance – provides continuous VM (app) availability in case of hardware failures.High Availability – reduces downtime due to automatic VM restart.VSphere Standard offers the following features:

Let’s briefly describe the most interesting features available in different editions: I/O Controls (Network and Storage) and SR-IOV Virtual Volumes and Storage-Policy BasedManagementĭistributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM) High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance(FT)ĭata Protection (VDP) and VM Data Replication Note that some features CPU features can be hidden by using compatibility masks.VMotion, Storage vMotion and Cross-Switch vMotion CPUs need to be from the same vendor (AMD or Intel, for example), CPU family, and must support the same features.

CPUs in both ESXi hosts must be compatible.

Note that the port group naming is case sensitive. All port groups to which the VM is attached must exist on both ESXi hosts.

identically named virtual machine port groups connected to the same network.

at least a Gigabit Ethernet network interface card with a VMkernel port enabled for vMotion on each ESXi host is required.

VM files on a VMFS or NFS datastore need to be accessible by both the source and destination ESXi host.

if the VM uses RDM, the destination ESXi host must be able to access it.

the VM must have all disk, configuration, log, and NVRAM files stored on a datastore accessible from both ESXi hosts.

the VM must not have a CPU affinity configured.

#VCENTER 6.5 REQUIREMENTS SERIAL#

the VM must not be connected to any device physically available to only one ESXi host, such as disk storage, CD/DVD drives, floppy drives, and serial ports.

the VM must not have a connection to an internal standard switch.

Before performing a vSphere vMotion migration, ensure that the following conditions are met:
