![]() With VVols you don’t have to deal with any of that BS as you aren’t using VMFS and don’t have to constantly upgrade a file system ![]() Depending on your environment and how much space you have available on your array this can be a long and painful migration. That royally sucks and you have to plan migrations by creating new VMFS6 datastores, migrating VMs to them with Storage vMotion and then deleting the VMFS5 datastores when you are done to get back your disk space. The first is once again you can’t upgrade in place existing VMFS5 volumes to VMFS6. The table below highlights the difference between the two that you should be aware of but I also wanted to make you aware of some additional info you should know when upgrading to vSphere 6.5 or operating in a mixed vSphere version environment. You have to love VMware’s crazy out of sync versioning across their product lines, now naturally you would think vSphere 6.0 would have VMFS6 in it but VMware kept it at VMFS5 with an incremental version and VMFS6 is new with vSphere 6.5. VSphere 6.5 has introduced a new VMFS version 6 and there are a few changes in it compared to VMFS version 5 that you should be aware of.
