Hello,
I’ve been reading all the version 6 release notes for the various vmware components and I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with:
1) Right now I have vCO installed on a separate windows server. Per the release notes, this method appears to be a dead end and I should get used to the appliance now. Correct assessment? Is vCO still installed with vCenter server when installed on windows?
2) In the 5.5.1 release notes, there was a mention of SOAP being deprecated but I see no mention of that in the 5.5.2 or 6.0.1 release notes. Is SOAP still there or only REST access? Has VMware changed their mind on removing SOAP?
3) To migrate all my actions and workflows from Windows (vCO 5.5.1) to the appliance (or another windows server as I’m planning to rebuild), is it simply a matter of exporting and importing them?
4) For initial configuration, the release notes again hint that the old method is going away. From what I can tell, only basic items (IP address and vcenter connection) are done through a web site. After that, I need to use the client and run workflows, correct? (Similar to the change that was done for the AD plugin a couple version back?)
5) I have a workflow which copies a file into the guest OS. This file is stored on a folder on the vCO server (Windows). Can this be done with the appliance or do I need to rework my workflow to get the file into the guest another way?
6) Can the vCO appliance work with an external SQL database?
Thanks
