Hi vvb1919,
I am not sure if I understand what you mean, too. Can you tell us what features will not work if you are not using vCenter?
In my opinion the new features provided with HW Version vmx-09 are:
- 1 TB RAM per VM (just tested in my LAB - is supported without vCenter)
- 64 vCPUs per VM (supported, too without vCenter)
- Hardware accelerated 3D graphics
- virtual CPU perf-counters
- support of the latest CPU features
- storage reclaim in the guest OS
- improved VHV
- no reboot required after a VM-Tool upgrade
Are you talking about one of this improvements?
Regards
Andi
