vCenter Server Installation

Install vCenter Server to manage multiple hosts.

To get started with vCenter Server quickly and manage the host you set up, you can installed vCenter Server

on a desktop or laptop. You must install vCenter Server on a Windows machine that has network access to the

ESX host. For production use, VMware recommends that you install vCenter Server on a dedicated server

system.

Before you install vCenter Server, make sure your system meets the minimum hardware and software

requirements. vCenter Server requires a database. vCenter Server uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express for

small deployments with up to 5 hosts and 50 virtual machines. For larger deployments, VMware supports

several Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. Refer to the vSphere Compatibility Matrixes for the list of

supported databases.

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.
