Here it is folks, the moment many of you have been waiting for! VMware vSphere 5 is now available for download from VMware’s site. For those of you running your own work or home vSphere lab environment this will be welcome news as you will now be able to get some hands on time playing with some of the cool new enhancements and features found in vSphere 5. For a list of the main new enhancements and features check out my earlier post here.
As I type this I am downloading the free ESXi 5.0 offering which is showing a build number of 469512.

Have fun!

I tested upgrading my home lab to vSphere 5 and here’s the result.
– vCenter Server 4.1 to vCenter 5 – Success
– vCenter Update Manager 4.x to 5 – Success
– vSphere 4.1 u1 to vSphere 5 (via VUM) – Success
I have two Shuttle SH67H3.

Hi Cav,
Thanks for leaving a comment to let us know, that will definitely help others out there.

All the best,

Hi,
i am interested in building a vSphere 5 lab on the ground of one or two Shuttle(s) SH67H3. May someone confirm that their on-board-sata-controller works fine with the mentioned vSphere version?
Thanks in advance,
