Zero downtime, zero data loss for mission critical VMs in case of Machine Check Exception (MCE) hardware failure: With vSphere 7.0 Update 3, mission critical VMs protected by VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance can achieve zero downtime, zero data loss in case of Machine Check Exception (MCE) hardware failure, because VMs fallback to the secondary VM, instead of failing. MTU size greater than 9000 bytes: With vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3, you can set the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on a vSphere Distributed Switch to up to 9190 bytes to support switches with larger packet sizes. For example, vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3 can manage ESXi hosts of versions 6.5, 6.7 and 7.0, all 7.0 update releases, including later than Update 3, and a mixture of hosts between major and update versions. Improved interoperability between vCenter Server and ESXi versions: Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 3, vCenter Server can manage ESXi hosts from the previous two major releases and any ESXi host from version 7.0 and 7.0 updates. Admins can also define compute policies to specify how the vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) should place vCLS agent virtual machines (vCLS VMs) and other groups of workload VMs. VSphere Cluster Services (vCLS) enhancements: With vSphere 7.0 Update 3, vSphere admins can configure vCLS virtual machines to run on specific datastores by configuring the vCLS VM datastore preference per cluster. For more information, see Using vSphere Lifecycle Manager Images to Remediate vSAN Stretched Clusters. Use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to manage a vSAN stretched cluster and its witness host: Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 3, you can use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to manage a vSAN stretched cluster and its witness host. SAS/SATA disk drives behind single-disk RAID-0 logical volumesįor more information, see Cluster-Level Hardware Compatibility Checks.vSphere 7.0 Update 3 also adds support for snapshots of PMem VMs. For more information, see vSphere Memory Monitoring and Remediation.Įxtended support for disk drives types: Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 3, vSphere Lifecycle Manager validates the following types of disk drives and storage device configurations: VSphere Memory Monitoring and Remediation, and support for snapshots of PMem VMs: vSphere Memory Monitoring and Remediation collects data and provides visibility of performance statistics to help you determine if your application workload is regressed due to Memory Mode. VCenter Server 7.0 Update 3 contains all security fixes from vCenter Server 7.0 Update 2d and covers all vulnerabilities documented in VMSA-2021-0020. The release notes cover the following topics:
The new feature targets only on performing basic edit tasks in case of vCenter Server failure for example.VCenter Server 7.0 Update 3 | | ISO Build 18700403Ĭheck for additions and updates to these release notes. It is also still recommended to use the Web Client, when you are using vSphere 5.1 or later. It is compatible to all vSphere 5.5 versions:ĭownload: VMware vSphere Client 5.5 Update 2Įven with the new client, you cannot create Virtual Machines with Hardware Version 9 or 10.
Just download the the new Client from the U2 package.
If you cant to edit the advanced features of this virtual machine, please use the vSphere Web Client to login to vCenter.īest fact is that you do not need to update ESXi or vCenter to the latest version. Only version 8 features will be available for Edit using this client. You are about to edit a virtual machine of version 10 er higher. With the new client, you only get a warning: Use the vSphere Web Client to edit the settings of this virtual machine. You cannot use the vSphere Client to edit the settings of virtual machines of version 10 or higher. With the vSphere Client you would usually see the following error message: All 5.1/5.5 features are still only available with the vSphere Web Client. Understandably you can only edit pre-5.1 features. Instead of getting an error message when trying to edit Virtual Machines with Hardware Version 10 you can now reconfigure these machines with the legacy C# client. Slightly hidden in vSphere 5.5 Update 2 there is a new vSphere C# Client that can edit Virtual Machines running the latest Virtual Hardware (vmx-10).
