TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER / 6

What’s New in the VMware vSphere 6.0 Platform

Virtual Machine Enhancements

Virtual Machine Compatibility Level with ESXi 6.0

vSphere 6.0 introduces a new virtual machine compatibility level with several new features such as support for

128 vCPUs and 4TB of RAM, hot-add RAM enhancements to vNUMA, WDDM 1.1 GDI acceleration, a USB 3.0 xHCI

controller, and several serial and parallel port enhancements.

Table 1 summarizes the virtual machine compatibility levels supported in vSphere 6.0.

Table 1. Virtual Machine Compatibility Levels

vNUMA Enhancements

When a vNUMA virtual machine with the hot-add memory option is enabled and memory is hot-added to it, that

memory is now allocated equally across all NUMA regions. In previous releases, all new memory was allocated

only to region 0. This enhancement ensures that all regions beneﬁt from the increase in RAM, enabling the

virtual machine to scale without requiring any downtime.

Serial and Parallel Port Enhancements

Serial and parallel ports can now be removed from a virtual machine when using compatibility 6 (vHW 11).

In addition, the maximum number of serial ports has been increased to 32. Security-conscious organizations

like the ability to control all aspects of the hardware that the applications are running on. With vSphere 6.0, they

can remove unused serial and parallel ports. Point-of-sale systems often require a large number of serial devices.

With vSphere 6.0, each virtual machine can contain as many as 32 serial ports, enabling virtualization of more

point-of-sale systems.

Expanded Guest OS Support

vSphere 6.0 introduces support for the following guest operating systems (OSs):

•OracleUnbreakableEnterpriseKernelRelease3QuarterlyUpdate3
