6.0.1

You can add virtual disks and add more space to existing disks, even when the virtual machine is running.
You can also change the device node and allocate shares of disk bandwidth to the virtual machine.
VMware virtual machines have the following options:
General Options
View or modify the virtual machine name, and check the location of the
configuration file and the working location of the virtual machine.
VMware Tools
Manage the power controls for the virtual machine and run VMware Tools
scripts. You can also upgrade VMware Tools during power cycling and
synchronize guest time with the host.
Advanced Options
Disable acceleration and enable logging, configure debugging and statistics,
and change the swap file location. You can also change the latency sensitivity
and add configuration parameters.
Power Management
Manage guest power options. Suspend the virtual machine or leave the
virtual machine powered on when you put the guest operating system into
standby.
CPUID Mask
Hide or expose the NX/XD flag. Hiding the NX/XD flag increases vMotion
compatibility between hosts.
Memory/CPU Hotplug
Enable or disable CPU and memory hotplug. You can add Memory or CPU
resources to a virtual machine while the virtual machine is running. You can
disable Memory or CPU hotplug to avoid adding memory or CPUs while the
virtual machine is running. Memory hotplug is supported on all 64 bit
operating systems, but to use the added memory, the guest operating system
must also support this feature. See the VMware Compatibility Guide at
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
Boot Options
Set the boot delay when powering on virtual machines or to force BIOS setup
and configure failed boot recovery.
Fibre Channel NPIV
Control virtual machine access to LUNs on a per-virtual machine basis. N-
port ID virtualization (NPIV) provides the ability to share a single physical
Fibre Channel HBA port among multiple virtual ports, each with unique
identifiers.
vApp Options
Enable or disable vApp functionality. When you select the checkbox, you can
view and edit vApp properties, vApp Deployment options, and vApp
Authoring options. For example, you can configure an IP allocation policy or
a network protocol profile for the vApp. A vApp option that is specified at
the level of a virtual machine overrides the settings specified at the level of
the vApp.
vSphere Web Client
All administrative functions are available through the vSphere Web Client.
The vSphere Web Client is a cross platform application that can connect only to vCenter Server. It has a full
range of administrative functionality and an extensible plug-in-based architecture. Typical users are virtual
infrastructure administrators, help desk, network operations center operators, and virtual machine owners.
Users can use the vSphere Web Client to access vCenter Server through a Web browser. The
vSphere Web Client uses the VMware API to mediate the communication between the browser and the
vCenter Server.
