Did Update 1 take care of these items?

Hi,

Did vSphere update 1 solve these issues?

1- vmxnet3 NIC Card does not show any performance chart. VMware support told me that they will release the patch with update 1, but I didn't see anything in release notes regarding this.

2- Will Fault Tolerance support vmxnet3 ? I don't want to go back to vmxnet enhanced. (Change of MAC Address)

3- Does Fault Tolerance support more than 1 vCPU?

4- Do we have vCore in CPU (like VMware workstation 7) or still vCPU. There was a beta going on with changing the vCPUs to cores.

I haven't got a chance to read the update 1 documentation, but I am really looking for these answers.

Thanks,

Ernest

Yes, this is solved now. I can see vmxnet3 traffic both in the vShpere client and in VEEAM monitor.
