The new vSphere Client is built into the vSphere 6.5 vCenter Server Appliance, you can get the latest HTML5 client builds at the VMware Fling page as it is also delivered independently of vSphere and works with vSphere 6.0 & 6.5.Ī long time ago in a vSphere version far, far away VMware introduced support for automatic space reclamation which allowed vSphere to send UNMAP commands to a storage array so space from deleted or moved VMs could be un-allocated (reclaimed) on the storage array. Note that now that the vSphere C# Client is officially dead they are referring to the HTML5 client as the vSphere Client going forward.
This link to VMware’s documentation provides a pretty long list of over 200 unsupported functionality actions in the HTML5 client. Not really an ideal situation and hopefully VMware kicks it into high gear with the HTML5 client development so you can use it without limitations.
#VMWARE VSPHERE 6.5 PROFILE DRIVEN STORAGE SERVICE FULL#
So in vSphere 6.5 you pretty much have two options for managing your vSphere environment: use the older, flash based web client that is fully functional, or use the new HTML5 web client which performs much better but is not full functional so you have to keep switching back to the flash based web client. Not all functionality in the vSphere Web Client has been implemented for the vSphere Client in the vSphere 6.5 release. vSphere 6.5 introduces the new HTML5-based vSphere Client, which ships with vCenter Server alongside the vSphere Web Client. vSphere 6.5 does not support this client and it is not included in the product download. From the vSphere 6.5 release notes:Īs of vSphere 6.5, VMware is discontinuing the installable desktop vSphere Client, one of the clients provided in vSphere 6.0 and earlier. The new HTML5 web based client is much faster then the old flash client and is a great improvement but the only problem is that its only half done and has a lot of limitations right now. Now that vSphere 6.5 is here VMware delivered on their promise to eliminate the C# client in vSphere 6.5 in lieu of the new HTML5 client that they have been working on to replace the current flash-based vSphere web client that everybody hates on.
Earlier this year I wrote about the end of life for our beloved vSphere C# thick client.
