vCenter Operations Manager 5.7 is now available
https://www.vmware.com/support/vcops/doc/vcops-57-vapp-release-notes.html
What's new:
This release introduces new diagnostics metrics to monitor the health and availability of vCenter Operations Manager components, such as Analytics, Collector, Active MQ, Web server, database, and operating system.
Allows you to build a custom resource hierarchy and relationship view, just like the existing out-of-the-box vCenter Server view.
This release introduces a new metrics profile that reports a reduced set of metrics. Increase the scalability of vCenter Operations Manager to support more resources by changing the metrics profile to the new "Balanced" profile in vCenter Operations Manager Administration.
You can configure how resources discovered by vCenter Infrastructure Navigator are displayed in vCenter Operations Manager. This release introduces a configurable filtering capability to the vCenter Infrastructure Navigator adapter to control Application service and Application resource reporting. For each resource type, you can configure either "blackList" or "whiteList" filtering in the configuration file filterList.txt.
This release adds new support for the following browsers: Apple Safari version 6, Google Chrome versions 24 and 25, and Mozilla Firefox 18 and 19.
This release includes additional security hardening and increases compliance with The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and The Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) guidelines.
In addition to that Groups in vSphere UI now support rules based on all properties comming from the VMware adapter.
Hope this will be useful.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have vCOPs 5.6 intalled right now. I was about to download the upgrade file pak file from here https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VCOPS-570-STD-WITH-KEY&productId=332&rPId=3.... But even after registering the trial, I could not download it.
Anyone has successfully downloaded the .pak file?
BTW, I can download the ovf file whithout any issue.
Thanks,
Wei
Hi, I was able to download and update without issue. I would suggest having a look at your license entitlement in My VMware and see what it says.
We have not purchased the licensing yet. We had the trial of version 5.6 installed last week. Now I wanted to simply donwload the .pak file to upgrade instead of installing Version 5.7 with the downloaded OVF file.
Thanks,
Wei
Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade vCenter Operations Manager Advanced 5.6 to Enterprise 5.7
or can I just upgrade to Advanced 5.7?
Thanks in advance,
Ramazan
Hi, yes that is possible. You should be able to deploy the vCops appliance then run the update pak to 5.7 and attach the Enterprise license in vCenter.
How does the scalability factor weight in with vCOPS Enterprise?
Is it factored on the number of VM's per vCOPS server or based on the number of metrics/KPI's collected by the vCOPS server (in a large environment)??
thanks
As I know it is based on how many metrics you're collecting. You can reference the installation guide for this.
In that guide there are three suggestions for size of both UI VM and Analytics VM.
Yes as rkilimci says I believe it is based on how many metrics you are collecting. My understanding is that there is a support limit of 10,000 VMs at the moment with vCOPs but is due to rise in upcoming releases.
re: downloading PAK file
I selected the Manual Download for the "PAK Updater" and received a ZIP file with a bunch of RDMs.... twice
Then I selected the Download Manager option ... and it's taking forever (going on 45 min - at 71%)
... sure hope its the right file....and not corrupted ...
The wrong file took less than a minute.
@TBKing That's known problem with some browsers.
rename the ZIP to PAK and you're all set
the pak file is just that
I did eventually get the PAK downloaded.
And upgraded without a hitch
.. but ...
The license doesn't seem to be working.
The file name on the download page is 5.6 ENT, though described as 5.7 Ent
We are licensed for 5.x Enterprise
We are on vCenter 5.0.0
After the upgrade, in the vC client we get a Script Error: key is null or not an object
If I go to the web, the Custom UI is "not licensed" and the vSphere UI is Foundation.
you need different license key (suite license) for 5.6 and 5.7 when using 5.0 and above vcenter. please refer to release notes.
