Only speaking for myself here, but we’re looking at vSphere 5 for VMs with > 8 vCPUS (cores.)
I believe someone from Symantec posted here a few weeks ago that vSphere 5 was supported with the same functionality as vSphere 4 but that new functionality required 7.1.0.3. Do you know what this new functionality is (if any?) I could be mistaken.

Anyone else being pressured to upgrade to 7.1.0.3 to support vSphere5 or Exchange 2010 SP2? I tried looking through the release notes, but I can't find exactly what 7.1.0.3 won't support. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it was clustered datastores and the new filesystem. Is there a restriction with hardware level 8?
I'm not sure why our VMware folks are itching to upgrade, since the only new filesystem advantage I see is datastores > that 2 TB?
I would be nice if we can have a list of what works and what doesn't with regards to vSphere 5 and the 7.1.0.3 release.
