The interface is very clean and most importantly, performant, especially when compared to the previous web client offering. HTML5 vSphere Client Introductionįor those that weren’t aware, in 2016 VMware released and rapidly worked on (releases every week) a new fling which was the vSphere Web Client based on HTML5. Thankfully in vSphere 6.5 the CIP has been deprecated, and the VCSA installation / upgrade process has a brand new interface which you will see in the walkthrough posts linked above. It has not been smooth sailing and it was a pain point for a lot of people. The CIP was required in vSphere 6 to perform a number of key tasks including deploying the VCSA, File download / upload, some functions within Content Library and also for passing logged in credentials on the vSphere web client login screen. Client Integration Plugin (CIP) deprecation I also highly recommend checking out William Lam’s post regarding the automation of VCSA and ESXi for a lab.
VCSA External Deployment Walkthrough (coming soon).Stage one walks through the appliance deployment options, where as stage two walks through specific configuration details of the appliance. The deployment of the VCSA is now broken into two stages, which can be completed one after another if desired. The individual posts below include both a video and text with screenshots.
I’ll walk through the deployment of an embedded VCSA as well as an external deployment with 1 PSC and 1VC node.
I’ve put the links immediately below, but I’ve also written a little about the VCSA below in this article which you may like to read as well. I’ve decided to start with a few posts on the deployment of the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) using both the new GUI installer and the CLI option as well. So I’ve finally had some spare time to download and have a look at some of the vSphere 6.5 components and I’ll be planning to do a few blog posts in early 2017 on some of the cool new features that have been added in this release.
