  • 1.  Did Update 1 take care of these items?

    Posted Nov 21, 2009 04:05 AM

    Hi,

    Did vSphere update 1 solve these issues?

    1- vmxnet3 NIC Card does not show any performance chart. VMware support told me that they will release the patch with update 1, but I didn't see anything in release notes regarding this.

    2- Will Fault Tolerance support vmxnet3 ? I don't want to go back to vmxnet enhanced. (Change of MAC Address)

    3- Does Fault Tolerance support more than 1 vCPU?

    4- Do we have vCore in CPU (like VMware workstation 7) or still vCPU. There was a beta going on with changing the vCPUs to cores.

    I haven't got a chance to read the update 1 documentation, but I am really looking for these answers.

    Thanks,

    Ernest

    I've not tested... but no mention in http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_vc40_u1_rel_notes.html

    No

    No

    Seems no

    Yes, this is solved now. I can see vmxnet3 traffic both in the vShpere client and in VEEAM monitor.
