VMware vSphere 6.7 has the new vmxnet3 driver version.

The number of virtual disks per VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) controller has increased from 16 disks to 64, which now allows for 256 disks per VM.

Fibre Channel paths have increased from 2048 paths per host to 4096.

Fibre Channel devices have increased from 512 devices per host to 1024.

There are some improvements to vSphere 6.7 ESXi host storage maximums, which you'll find below: Storage improvements ^ДЄs for storage, VMware has improved storage stacks by adding the possibility to connect even more devices and attach more disks, compared to what was possible in previous release. VMware has observed that vPMem can improve performance by up to 1.8x better throughput and 2.3x better latency compared to standard SSD technology.

You can vMotion a VM with vPMem, but a destination host must have a hardware NVDIMM device.

If a VM was previously part of such a backup, disable Changed Block Tracking (CBT) before adding vNVDIMM to a VM.

You must exclude a VM with vPMem from a VM-level backup.

vSphere High Availability (HA) will not protect a VM with a vPMem device.

This release has some limitations, however, so if you want to use this technology, you must be aware of the following: The guest OSes use it directly as a block device. You add it as a virtual hardware device to your VM.

Virtual persistent memory (vPMem) exposes NVDIMM capacity to the VM through a new virtual NVDIMM device.

A virtual persistent memory disk (vPMemDisk) presents NVDIMM capacity as a local host data store that requires no guest operating system (OS) changes to use this technology.

VSphere 6.7 supports two modes of accessing PMem: It has approximately the same speed as a traditional RAM module, but the difference is that it can retain content across reboots-something traditional RAM cannot do. VSphere 6.7 has introduced persistent memory (PMem), a type of non-volatile DRAM (NVDIMM). These improvements will allow you to run very large enterprise applications, such as SAP HANA or other intensive enterprise workloads.

Host memory has also increased from 12 TB to 16 TB of RAM.

Maximum supported processors have increased from 576 to 768 logical CPUs.

VM hardware version 15 brings scalability improvements (you can configure up to 256 vCPUs).

VMware has published new host maximums with vSphere 6.7 and lately 6.7 Update 2: If your hardware isn't supported, the option will be grayed out. The Update Manager UI will present Quick Boot as an option for servers that support the feature. VMware is working with major server hardware vendors. Not all servers or configurations support the Quick Boot feature. It works, and it's configurable via vSphere Update Manager (VUM), so your patching and upgrades complete much more quickly.

Quick Boot optimizes the reboot path to avoid this, saving considerable time in the upgrade process. If configured, the host boots faster it can skip BIOS POST entries and just boot without going through the slow hardware check on I/O devices.ДЄs you know, a regular reboot involves a full power cycle that requires firmware and device initialization.

VMware Quick Boot is new feature introduced in vSphere 6.7 U1.
