April 10th Updates
VMware Released two anticipated updates today VMware ESX 3.5.0 Update 1, VMWare ESXi 3.5.0 Installable Update 1 and VMware VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 1. The release date for these updates were accidentally posted briefly to the download section at VMware last week.A quick analysis of the release notes reveals:
MSCS Clustering Support
Support newer hardware Agents from Dell and HP
10GiB Ethernet Controller from Intel
HA Support For ESXi 3.5.0 Installable
Updates to both the Converter Plugin and the Update Manger Plugin
New hardware support ( updated HCL )
New guest operating support
The ESX 3.5.0 rollup contains all patches that have been previously released, plus a pile (17 to be exact ) of new patches. I won't get a chance to try the update out until next week, I'm hopeful that Update Manager can handle upgrading a host to the Update 1 level for both ESX 3.5.0 and ESXi Installable 3.5.0.
