https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere6/doc/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-60-release-notes.html
Go grab it and install it across your infrastructure today! Just watch out for some minor gotchas from the release notes.
quote:ESXi is shown as Guest OS option when you create a new virtual machine
When you create a new virtual machine, the Guest OS Version drop-down menu displays the options VMware ESXi 6.x, VMware ESXi 5.x, and VMware ESX 4.x. Running ESXi as a Guest OS and using these OS selections is unsupported. Consult KB 2009916 for a discussion of the constraints and risks.
Refer to the VMware Compatibility Guide for the list of supported VMware guest operating systems.
Workaround: Do not select these any of these options.
Here's a new option, but just ignore it please.
quote:You might not be able to start Telnet by using the syntax command after you install VMware Tools on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012
After you install VMware Tools on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 guest operating systems, the default host application is set to VMware Tools. You cannot open Telnet by using the start telnet://xx.xx.xx.xx command. The following error message is displayed: Make sure the virtual machine's configuration allows the guest to open host applications.
Workaround: In the Windows command prompt, run cmd->telnet to open the Telnet interactive prompt and then start Telnet sessions.
How do you break telnet on Windows?
quote:The Windows Installer for vCenter Server stops if the password for the administrator account of the Platform Services Controller contains either non-ASCII or high-ASCII characters
During installation, you cannot specify a Platform Services Controller administrator password that includes non-ASCII or high-ASCII characters, but you can change the password after installation. If you then install a vCenter Server system, and connect that system to the Platform Services Controller, the installation fails.
English only, USA USA USA. Also what's validation
quote:The vCenter Server Appliance scripted installer fails if more DNS servers are provided simultaneously
The scripted installation of vCenter Server Appliance fails if you provide more than one DNS server during the installation process.
Workaround: You should use only one DNS server at a time, and after the installation has finished, you can add more DNS servers.
It is 1970 and we cannot support more than 1 server name at a time
quote:The vCenter Server Appliance scripted installer allows you to proceed with the installation with less than 15 GB of available disk space, which is below the minimum requirement
When installing vCenter Server Appliance using the scripted installer, the tool proceeds to install the software on hosts with less than 15 GB space available on the datastore. The installer proceeds, but vCenter Server Appliance might fail to power on the virtual machine.
Workaround: You should ensure that the ESXi host has at least 15 GB available space.
What is free space validation and why do I need it
quote:In the vSphere Web Client, the direction of the traffic filtering and marking rules is inverted compared with vSphere Web Client 5.5
The direction of a traffic rule appears inverted in the vSphere Web Client in the following cases:
After you upgrade vSphere Web Client 5.5 to vSphere Web Client 6.0, the direction of existing traffic rules on a distributed switch is inverted.
If you manually redefine traffic rules from a vSphere 5.5 environment into a vSphere 6.0 environment, the traffic rules are applied to traffic in the opposite direction.
In vSphere Web Client 5.5, the meaning of "ingress" and "egress" in traffic marking rules is reversed compared with "ingress" and "egress" in the other features of distributed switches, such as traffic shaping, where the direction is determined with regard to the switch. For example, "ingress" in traffic rules stands for traffic leaving the switch while for the other features it stands for traffic entering the switch.
Literally reversing the meaning of words
quote:Right-click menus are not usable in the vSphere Web Client on Mac OS with the Firefox browser
When using the vSphere Web Client on a Mac OS with the Firefox browser (versions 34 or later), the right-click menus are not usable because they disappear. A recent upgrade of Firefox results in issue with Flash player, and right-click menus are affected.
Workaround: Perform one of the following workarounds:
Use Ctrl+left-click to access a right-click menu.
Instead of using the right-click menu for an object, select the object and use the Actions drop-down menu. This is located in the top title area of the center workspace, next to the selected object's name.
Flash supremacy
