ESX 3.5 & VC 2.5 新特性预览
基于 Build numbers: ESX 3.5.0 build 64557, VC 2.5 build 64201

• Distributed Power Management
• NPIV support (connect a HBA to a VM instead of an ESX host)
• VMware update manager (formerly Shavlik)
• Storage VMotion (VMotion the storage of a VM to a different location, only through command line)
• Paravirtualization possible on a per VM basis
• More RAM for a VM, up to 64GB and more RAM for the host, max 128GB
• SATA drives support (not known which drives are supported)
• Hardware page tabels for even less overhead when virtualizing memory
• 32 nodes instead of 16 in a DRS / HA cluster
• Up to 10 isolation addresses in HA
• A VM can now have a local swap file
• Cisco Discovery Protocol
• Wake On LAN for your nics
• And a very important VCB feature: restore files on VM
