vSphere 5.1 shared-nothing live migration and Essentials Plus

[jwhitehv]

Anyone noticed that vMotion is spoken of as "enhanced" across the board, but that Essentials Plus Kits don't have Storage vMotion?  So do guests on Essentials Plus still have vMotion dependent on shared storage?  Or is the lack of Storage vMotion a mistake?!

No exec ever said, "Oh, except for on Essentials Plus."

I guess shared-nothing vMotion can't be included with Ess+, since as you imply it's essentially the two types combined.  On the other hand, it's great to see vShield Zones in there.

That's my suspicion too.  But ... no confirmation anywhere yet.

Apparently, shared-nothing migration is possible, but not svMotion without the workload migration.
