I don't know what is what. I signed up to eval the vCenter Operations but that isn't it. The download page says "VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.7 (supports VMware vCenter Server 5.1 only)" so it sounds like that is an additional service on top of vCenter Server.

The web client is now supported on Mac OS X" Frickin FINALLY. Although honestly the only time I used the web client was for the VCP class, and I found it hella slow and bad compared to the native Windows client.

I had all my NICs mysteriously re-order on one of my [different] hosts, so that was a fun one to fix. And I for some reason can't set Jumbo Frames on one of the vSwitches for the system (it stops passing any traffic at all). Really bizarre, since it worked fine before the upgrade and continues to not work despite rebuilding the host and re-teaming the NICs (802.3ad). Edit: Three Intel PRO/1000 NICs in a team. The 10Gbit Brocades and their vSwitches work fine with Jumbo Frames, thank goodness.

Misogynist posted:I remember when 4.0 came out and I contacted them about a VMFS regression. I told them exactly what the error was, when the error was introduced, exactly how to reproduce it in greenfield with a single server, what in their code caused it, and how to fix it, and it took eight months before they released a fix. To be fair, the developer probably had it fixed in half a day. Then it took 3 weeks of risk assessment on the patch to see if it could go into a minor release. After that you have several weeks where the code is frozen and QA is doing all their integration testing. The code was finally ready to ship at that point, but the finance people decided that we had to ship in Q3 instead of Q2. Of course the marketing team is busy working on some other major release at the start of Q3, and they don't want this minor patch to distract from that major release. Better tack on a few more weeks before we ship the code. And this is how corporate software development takes forever.

So it seems to me that when a new version of vSphere comes out, you upgrade right away, whereas with other software you wait a little while for bugs to be shaken out before you upgrade? Am I just reading the situation wrong, or is VMware really more trusted than everybody else to put out good software?

Am I just reading the situation wrong, or is VMware really more trusted than everybody else to put out good software? Also the environment in question is for testing/learning/home use, so it's a fairly risk-free move for me to upgrade to the bleeding-edge releases when they come out. It also ensures I get a decent head-start at familiarizing myself with new features and configuration. DevNull posted:He has the privilege of directly contacting the developer that implemented the feature, and getting the response of "It works for me."  to file bugs or reports based on my home lab until I'm absolutely certain that my configuration or even the quite-unsupported-whitebox-servers weren't the source of the problem to begin with.

It depends on the featureset. I skipped ESXi 5.0 because of the vRAM idiocy, and went 4.1 to 5.1 as soon as 5.1 was out. vCenter 5.5 has features I need.

Do you guys still configure scheduled scans? I figure if the realtime scanner misses something you're hosed anyway, the virus will have neutered the AV long before the scheduled scan runs.

Actually this was Symantec throwing all it's updates to vShield, after which Symantec decides "All my hashes are poo poo time to DDOS the same and get all the agents to start doing scans. That and someone really didn't configure a blackout window, because you know it's always next>next>next done! Set it for a distributed window on their 2 hours of "low volume" sub 10 ms all day baby. Not bad for the storage they are using... But I seem to be the only one who really doesn't 'get' the HP storage hype.
