Before you go updating your vSphere to the new 5.1 version that was just released, VMware had just released this alert yesterday (9/12) that vSphere 5.1 is currently NOT compatible with any version of VMware View.

vSphere 5.1 is in the process of being certified against VMware View. We recommend that you do not upgrade vSphere above the supported versions listed in the VMware View 5.1 Release Notes.

For further updates and more information on this alert, refer to KB article:
vSphere 5.1 is not compatible with any versions VMware View (2035268).

If you don’t use VMware View, and are ready to upgrade to vSphere 5.1 be sure to check out the Installing vCenter Server 5.1 best practices from VMware.

Looks like Sammy Bogaert over at Boerlowie’s Blog has possibly found the release date of vSphere 5.1… maybe?

I was about to download vSphere Update Manager PowerCLI 5.0.

I followed the main site and wanted to check the documentation first. So I clicked the Documentation button.

vmware update manager

This lead me to the Docs of Update Manager PowerCLI 5.1! That’s right, 5.1! With a release date of 10 September 2012.

vsphere5.1 release date

None of the links for 5.1 work, so no news on any new features…

Guess somebody at VMware was a bit too fast to update the website

Nice find Sammy, guess time will tell if the Sept. 10th date is the actual release date or not.
