18
Improved Auditability of ESXi Admin Actions
• Prior to 6.0, actions taken at the vCenter level by a named user would show up in ESXi logs with the “vpxuser” username. • [user=vpxuser]• This made for difficult forensic tracking of user actions.
• In 6.0, all actions taken at vCenter against an ESXi server now show up in the ESXi logs with the vCenter username• [user=vpxuser:CORP\Administrator]

What is Virtual SAN?
• A software based solution that has been developed from
the ground up by VMware
• It virtualizes local hard disks and SSDs, clusters them
together, and presents them as a datastore
• Main goal is to lower TCO (up to 50%)
25
What’s New with Virtual SAN 6.0
• All Flash datastore with SSD persistence• High, predictable performance• Cost-effective all-flash architecture with SSD tiering
Data ServicesAnd
Other New Features• New VSAN Snapshots and Clones
• Hardware-based checksum and encryption support• Enable blade architectures
o Support for blade-only direct-attached JBODs• Rack Awareness: tolerate rack failures • Disk troubleshooting: LED on/off to detect failed disks
• 2x Greater Scale: up to 64 nodes/cluster• 50% greater VM densities
o Hybrid: 150 VMs/hosto All-Flash: 200 VMs/host

VMCA
Root CA
• During installation, VMCA automatically creates a self-signed certificate
• This is a CA certificate, capable of issuing other certificates
• All solutions and endpoint certificates are created (and trusted) from this self-signed CA certificate
Issuer CA
• Can replace the default self-signed CA certificate created during installation
• Requires a CSR issued from VMCA to be used in an Enterprise/Commercial CA to generate a new Issuing Certificate
• Requires replacement of all issued default certificates after implementation
New Certificate Manager (separate download)
34
• Content Library provides storage and versioning of files including VM templates, ISOs, and OVFs.
• Includes powerful publish and subscribe features to replicate content
• Backed by vSphere Datastores or NFS
Overview
• Simplifies management of templates
• Enables synchronization between local and remote vCenter Servers
• Also enables sync between vC and vCD
