What’s new in VMware vSphere 6?
With VMware vSphere 6 the scalability and availability improved even further and VMware further enhanced vMotion with epic features like cross vCenter vMotion, cross vSwitch vMotion and long distance vMotion. Furthermore VMware vSphere 6 marks the introduction of Virtual Volumes or vVols which allows for very granular storage policies defined from the hypervisor level.
Management is done with vCenter Server but as of this version, there’s no more difference between the installable Windows version and the vCenter Server appliance. VMware has also improved the performance of the web client so the new way to go is, management with a vCenter Server appliance through the web client.

vsan seems to be a new feature claim for vmware-6 , but to my knowledge it is already with vsphere-5 and above
What’s your take and if yes what’s new in it.
Hey Amit, it was available with vSphere 5.5 U1, I believe. What’s new with it is All Flash with 6.0, can do 64 hosts/VSAN cluster and is based on the Virsto fs (rewritten, pretty much).
Hello, I just upgrade my ESXI 5 to 6. on my data disk are some VMware images.
I can see them in the storage but how to get them back to my list so I can open them and use again?
