Issue/Introduction
This article provides different new commands used in vSphere 7.0 .
vSphere 7 has a new concept called Component instead of individual vibs. In vSphere 7, components which are a set of vibs can use vSphere LifeCycle Manager to apply patches.
There are new commands used to install components. We can still install or remove separate vibs.
