VMware vSphere Web Client - Welcome Window

What a nice, friendly looking and encouraging "welcome window" welcomed me after I've installed vSphere 5.1 today...:)

Perfectly stable, secure and bug free solution...:)

I am pretty sure as well that all of you have this port opened in your vSphere network...:)

Minimum required permissions for Storage VMotion

Probably all of you, when looking for Storage vMotion permissions, will find KB:
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011345

This KB is at the first place in all searches issued from google...:)

All would be great, but it is actually no longer applicable to vCenter versions 4.x and 5.x and is related only to RCLI.

To create role which allows user to perform Storage vMotion you can copy standard Read-Only role (or VM User/VM Power User role -> depends on access to Virtual Machines you would like to give to users) and add following permissions:

Datastore -> Allocate Space

Datastore -> Browse Datastore

Datastore -> Remove File

Datastore -> Update Virtual Machine Files

Resources -> Migrate

Resources -> Relocate

Virtual Machine -> Provisioning

Virtual Machine -> Allow Disk Access

Virtual Machine -> Allow Read-Only Disk Access

Newly created role now allows you to perform Storage vMotion.
