vSphere Client HTML5 for Virtual SAN
The vSphere Client is a new HTML5-based client that ships with vCenter Server alongside the vSphere Web Client. The new vSphere Client uses many of the same interface terminologies, topologies, and workflows as the vSphere Web Client. However, the vSphere Client does not support Virtual SAN. Users of Virtual SAN should continue to use the vSphere Web Client for those processes.
