System Requirements for Server

Components 1

Hosts that run VMware View server components must meet specific hardware and software requirements.

This chapter includes the following topics:

n“View Connection Server Requirements,” on page 7

n“View Administrator Requirements,” on page 9

n“View Composer Requirements,” on page 9

n“View Transfer Server Requirements,” on page 11

View Connection Server Requirements

View Connection Server acts as a broker for client connections by authenticating and then directing incoming

user requests to the appropriate View desktop. View Connection Server has specific hardware, operating

system, installation, and supporting software requirements.

nHardware Requirements for View Connection Server on page 7

You must install View Connection Server on a 32-bit or 64-bit dedicated physical or virtual machine that

meets specific hardware requirements.

nSupported Operating Systems for View Connection Server on page 8

You must install View Connection Server on a supported operating system.

nVirtualization Software Requirements for View Connection Server on page 8

View Connection Server requires VMware virtualization software to function properly.

nNetwork Requirements for Replicated View Connection Server Instances on page 8

If you install replicated View Connection Server instances, configure the instances in the same location

and connect them over a high-performance LAN.

Hardware Requirements for View Connection Server

You must install View Connection Server on a 32-bit or 64-bit dedicated physical or virtual machine that meets

specific hardware requirements.

Table 1-1. View Connection Server Hardware Requirements

Hardware Component Required Recommended

Processor Pentium IV 2.0GHz processor or

higher

Dual processors

Networking One or more 10/100Mbps

network interface cards (NICs)

1Gbps NICs

VMware, Inc. 7

Table 1-1. View Connection Server Hardware Requirements (Continued)

Hardware Component Required Recommended

Memory

Windows Server 2008 64-bit

4GB RAM or higher At least 10GB RAM for deployments of 50 or more

View desktops

Memory

Windows Server 2003 32-bit

2GB RAM or higher 6GB RAM for deployments of 50 or more View

desktops, and enable Physical Address Extension

(PAE)

See the Microsoft KB article at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037.

These requirements also apply to additional View Connection Server instances that you install for high

availability or external access.

IMPORTANT The physical or virtual machine that hosts View Connection Server must use a static IP address.

Supported Operating Systems for View Connection Server

You must install View Connection Server on a supported operating system.

Table 1-2 lists the operating systems supported for View Connection Server.

These operating systems support all View Connection Server installation types, including standard, replicated,

security-server, and View Transfer Server installations.

Windows Server 2003 32-bit Standard

Enterprise

SP2

IMPORTANT If you use a Windows Server 2003 operating system, enable Physical Address Extension (PAE).

See the Microsoft KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037.

Virtualization Software Requirements for View Connection Server

View Connection Server requires VMware virtualization software to function properly.

nIf you are using vSphere, you must have vSphere 4.0 Update 2 or vSphere 4.1.

nIf you are using VMware Infrastructure, you must have VMware Infrastructure 3.5 Update 5 and

VirtualCenter Server 2.5 Update 6.

nBoth ESX and ESXi hosts are supported.

Network Requirements for Replicated View Connection Server Instances

If you install replicated View Connection Server instances, configure the instances in the same location and

connect them over a high-performance LAN.

Do not use a WAN to connect replicated View Connection Server instances.

VMware View Installation Guide

8 VMware, Inc.

Even a high-performance WAN with low average latency and high throughput might have periods when the

network cannot deliver the performance characteristics that are needed for View Connection Server instances

to maintain consistency.

If the View LDAP configurations on View Connection Server instances become inconsistent, users might not

be able to access their desktops. A user might be denied access when connecting to a View Connection Server

instance with an out-of-date configuration.

View Administrator Requirements

Administrators use View Administrator to configure View Connection Server, deploy and manage desktops,

control user authentication, initiate and examine system events, and carry out analytical activities. Client

systems that run View Administrator must meet certain requirements.

View Administrator is a Web-based application that is installed when you install View Connection Server. You

can access and use View Administrator with the following Web browsers:

nInternet Explorer 7

nInternet Explorer 8

nFirefox 3.0

nFirefox 3.5

To use View Administrator with your Web browser, you must install Adobe Flash Player 10. Your client system

must have access to the internet to allow Adobe Flash Player to be installed.

To display text properly, View Administrator requires Microsoft-specific fonts. If your Web browser runs on

a non-Windows operating system such as Linux, UNIX, or Mac OS, make sure that Microsoft-specific fonts are

installed on your computer.

Currently, the Microsoft Web site does not distribute Microsoft fonts, but you can download them from

independent Web sites.

View Composer Requirements

View Manager uses View Composer to deploy multiple linked-clone desktops from a single centralized base

image. View Composer has specific installation and storage requirements.

nSupported Operating Systems for View Composer on page 10

View Composer supports 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems with specific requirements and limitations.

You must install View Composer on the same physical computer or virtual machine as vCenter Server.

nDatabase Requirements for View Composer on page 10

View Composer requires an SQL database to store data. The View Composer database must reside on,

or be available to, the vCenter Server computer.

nVirtualization Software Requirements for View Composer Features on page 11

You must create linked-clone virtual machines on hosts that run ESX/ESXi 4 or later, and you must

configure linked-clone pools in vSphere mode, to take advantage of several View Composer and vSphere

features.

Chapter 1 System Requirements for Server Components

VMware, Inc. 9

Supported Operating Systems for View Composer

View Composer supports 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems with specific requirements and limitations. You

must install View Composer on the same physical computer or virtual machine as vCenter Server.

64-Bit Operating Systems

Table 1-3 lists the 64-bit operating systems supported for View Composer. Standard and Enterprise editions

are supported.

4.0 Update 2 Windows Server 2008 SP2

32-Bit Operating Systems

Table 1-4 lists the 32-bit operating systems supported for View Composer. Standard and Enterprise editions

are supported.

Table 1-4. 32-Bit Operating System Support for View Composer

vCenter Server Version Operating System Service Pack

4.0 Update 2 Windows Server 2003 SP2

2.5 Update 6 Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2

2.5 Update 6 Windows Server 2003 SP2

Database Requirements for View Composer

View Composer requires an SQL database to store data. The View Composer database must reside on, or be

available to, the vCenter Server computer.

If a database server already exists for vCenter Server, View Composer can use that existing database server if

it is a version listed in Table 1-5. For example, View Composer can use the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express

instance provided with vCenter Server. If a database server does not already exist, you must install one.

View Composer supports a subset of the database servers that vCenter Server supports. If you are already

using vCenter Server with a database server that is not supported by View Composer, continue to use that

database server for vCenter Server and install a separate database server to use for View Composer and View

Manager database events.

IMPORTANT If you create the View Composer database on the same SQL Server instance as vCenter Server, do

not overwrite the vCenter Server database.

Table 1-5 lists the supported database servers and versions. For a complete list of database versions supported

with vCenter Server, see the VMware vSphere Compatibility Matrixes on the VMware vSphere documentation

Web site.
