NPM 10.1 and vSphere (ESX) 5 supported?

Just trying to confirm which of our support tools provide support for vShpere 5. Wondering if NPM and the virtualization monitoring feature supports vSphere 5 yet? We are looking at about a 3 week timeframe of needing actual support for the start of our planned upgrades.

  • We have not gone through a full round of regression testing, however, with NPM we did perform some high level testing against the RC for vSphere 5 to make sure nothing broke and everything appeared to be working properly.  If you find anything let us know, but should be ok.

  • At VMworld last week, I was told my a few SW product reps that yes, it should work, since v5 has monitoring API that are backwards compatible with v4.  Nothing you can see/do in v4 should be lost if you upgrade hosts to v5.

    However, since v5 has some new tricks, these won't be available through NPM until a future NPM upgrade.

    I can't confirm this yet, but I'll be upgrading my hosts shortly, so...  I have my fingers crossed.
