Greetings,
I upgraded my esxi 5.0 U1 to 5.1 and tried to create a new vm hoping to use the new hardware 9 version.
Using both the Typical and Custom options I was unable to create a Version 9 Hardware VM by default.
The only option I had was to manually upgrade to version 9 once the VM was created.
Any thoughts or is this as designed? Do I need to reinstall from scratch my host?

To create VMs with HW version 9 you may use the Web Client rather than the Windows based vSphere Client.

The vSphere web client is the new main client.
The C# client won't be updated and this is the last ESXi release which contains it.
All new features will only be available via the web client.
Is it documented somewhere in regards to this? and also where it is noted or announced that the GUI client is going away?
I'm a little skeptical of dropping the GUI client so soon since it's hard to compare a web interface vs an actual native app.
I think you can make a comparison when you look at Facebook's retreat from HTML5 and them moving back to a native iOS app.
just my thoughts though.
-thanks- I will try out the web client - i wish I could give the answer status to you both.
