vCenter Server and the vSphere Client Hardware Requirements

The vCenter Server system is a physical machine or virtual machine with access to a supported database. The

vCenter Server system and the vSphere Client machines must meet specific requirements.

Minimum Requirements for vCenter Server

CPU – 2 CPUs

Processor – 2.0GHz or faster Intel or AMD processor. Processor requirements might be higher if the

database runs on the same machine.

Memory – 3GB RAM. Memory requirements might be higher if the database runs on the same machine.

vCenter Server includes a service called VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. This service

requires 128MB to 1.5GB of additional memory. The VirtualCenter Management Webservices process

allocates the required memory at startup.

Disk storage – 2GB. Disk requirements might be higher if the database runs on the same machine.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express disk requirements – Up to 2GB free disk space to decompress the

installation archive. Approximately 1.5GB of these files are deleted after the installation is complete.

Networking – Gigabit connection recommended.

See your database documentation for the hardware requirements of your database. The database requirements

are in addition to the vCenter Server requirements if the database and vCenter Server run on the same machine.

vCenter Server Software Requirements

Make sure that your operating system supports vCenter Server.

For a list of supported operating systems, see the vSphere Compatibility Matrixes at

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf on the VMware vSphere

documentation Web site.

vCenter Server Prerequisites

Before installing vCenter Server, review the prerequisites.

You must have the installation DVD or download the installation ISO image.

Your hardware must meet the vCenter Server hardware requirements.

If the machine on which you are installing vCenter Server has VirtualCenter installed, you might want to

upgrade instead of performing a fresh installation of vCenter Server.

IMPORTANT If you want to keep your existing VirtualCenter configuration, see the Upgrade Guide.

There must be no Network Address Translation (NAT) between the vCenter Server system and the hosts

it will manage.

For the installation of vCenter Server, VMware recommends installing the bundled SQL Server 2005

Express database on one of the supported operating systems. If SQL Native Client is already installed,

uninstall SQL Native Client before you begin the vCenter Server installation.

The system that you use for your vCenter Server installation will belong to a domain rather than a

workgroup. If assigned to a workgroup, the vCenter Server system is not able to discover all domains and

systems available on the network when using such features as vCenter Guided Consolidation Service. To

use vCenter Linked Mode, multiple vCenter Server systems should be added to a domain. To determine

whether the system belongs to a workgroup or a domain, right-click My Computer and click Properties

and the Computer Name tab. The Computer Name tab displays either a Workgroup label or a Domain

label.
