VMware ESXi: 3rd Generation Hypervisor Architecture

VMware GSX(VMware Server)

Installs as an application

Runs on a host OS

Depends on OS for resourcemanagement

VMware ESXArchitecture

Installs bare metal

Relies on a Linux OS(Service Console) for runningpartner agents and scripting

VMware ESXiArchitecture

Installs bare metal Management tasks are

moved outside of thehypervisor

VMware ESX

Service ConsoleVMware ESXi

The ESXi architecture runs independently of a general purpose OS,

simplifying hypervisor management and improving security.

Converging to ESXi with the Next vSphere Release

With the GA of vSphere 4.1 in July 2010 VMware officiallyannounced that starting with the next vSphere our hypervisor

architecture will converge to ESXi From the release note:

VMware vSphere 4.1 and its subsequent update and patch releases are the last

releases to include both ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures. Future major

releases of VMware vSphere will include only the VMware ESXi architecture.

VMware recommends that customers start transitioning to the ESXi architecture

when deploying VMware vSphere 4.1.

VMware will continue to provide technical support for VMware ESX according

to the VMware vSphere support policy on the VMware Enterprise Infrastructure

Support page.

To learn more about the ESXi architecture and how to migrate from ESX to ESXi,

go to the VMware ESXi and ESX InfoCenter.

How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration?

1. Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center

2. Start testing ESXi If youve not already deployed, theres no better time than the present

3. Ensure 3rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready

Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are.

Bid farewell to agents!

4. Familiarize with ESXi remote management options

Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS

Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI,

5. Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade

Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing

vCenter Heartbeat

What is it?

High availability for vCenter Server

What does it help protect

against? Failures that occur with:

Hardware, Networks, OS, Applications

Loss of key vSphere features andfunctions if vCenter is unavailable

Wh t N i C t H tb t 6 4?


32/35

32

Whats New in vCenter Heartbeat 6.4?

Enhanced architecture allows the active and standby nodesto be reachable over the network at the same time, enabling

both to be patched and managed

Better integration with VMware vCenter Server:

New Plug-in to the vSphere Client provides monitoring and managementof vCenter Server Heartbeat from the vSphere Client

Heartbeat events and alerts will register in vCenter and display in the

vSphere Client

Supports VMware vCenter Server v5.0 and VMware ViewComposer v5.0

Supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
