The new online compatibility guide provides a single point of access for all VMware hardware compatibility guides. The new search tool streamlines the HCL posting process and offers advanced search capabilities and the ability to save the guide(s) or search results in the csv format.
The new hardware compatibility guide replaces the following legacy PDF-format HCLs:
This document lists CIM monitoring plug-ins, also referred to as CIM providers, developed and released by server, storage, and I/O device vendors for monitoring their hardware on VMware vSphere systems. For support and availability information of any desired providers, please refer to the vendor directly
The CIM providers listed below passed VMware's CIM Provider Acceptance Test (CIM PAT), which allows these vendors to provide a measure of reliability and stability of their code. All the tests contained in CIMPAT are meant to exercise and provide coverage of the provider's intrinsic methods. Testing consists of running tools that verify that the behavior of a CIM provider does not introduce undesirable effects on the operation of the system as a whole.
Any technical issues found with the vendor provided CIM providers are handled by the corresponding vendor as described in the 3rd party support documentation at - http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/ThirdParty.html
VMware recognizes the need to bring best of breed solution from our partners to address customers need as they transition to virtual and cloud architectures. Customers can easily take advantage of a new vendor’s technology and integrate operations with the existing systems and procedures, leading to improved levels of service and performance.
VXLAN is a great concept that gives separation between virtual networks and physical IP-based transport infrastructure, but we need VXLAN termination in physical devices before we can start considering large-scale deployments.
The Hardware VXLAN Gateway is a VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point) and performs VXLAN encapsulation and de-encapsulation. Each VTEP device has two interfaces – one is a VLAN interface and the other is an IP interface to other VTEPs.
Customers using these integrated products can leverage their existing investments in networking and security solutions while dramatically improving operational efficiency and agility in their datacenter.
