Perfect. I love new version releases of mostly everything. Just reading through the notes makes my inner nerd creepy excited.
The biggest piece probably being the improvements in the HTML5 version of the vSphere client. This release is actually the last version of the vSphere Flash client. Thank GOD!
I was always a big fan of the old C# thick client and had to get used to the Flash client, even though deep down in my heart I knew there was something odd and buggy about it.
Another enhancement I'm excited about is the ability to repoint vCenter to a different PSC even across sites using the cmsso-util command.
Command> cmsso-util
usage: cmsso-util [-h] {unregister,reconfigure,repoint,domain-repoint} ...
Tool for orchestrating unregister of a node from LS, reconfiguring a vCenter
Server with embedded PSC and repointing a vCenter Server to an external PSC in
same as well as different domain.
positional arguments:
{unregister,reconfigure,repoint,domain-repoint}
unregister Unregister node. Passing --node-pnid will unregister
solution users, computer account and service
endpoints. Passing --hostId will unregister only
service endpoints and solution users.
reconfigure Reconfigure a vCenter with an embedded Platform
Services Controller(PSC) to a vCenter Server. Then it
repoints to the provided external PSC node.
repoint Repoints a vCenter with an external Platform Services
Controller(PSC) to the provided external PSC node.
domain-repoint Repoint vCenter Server from one Platform Services
Controller to another Platform Services Controller in
a different domain. The repointing operation will
migrate Tags, Authorization, License data to another
Platform Services Controller.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Unsure why this was not available in 6.5 as this functionality was present in the 6.0 version. I'm just glad to have it back.
Dafaq is a PSC and why do you care?
Anyway, I can't wait to try it out. I'll post some home lab 6.5 > 6.7 vCenter and ESXi update steps in the near future 🙂
