For a full list of explicit DB permissions see the Database Permission Requirements document.

The account used for external database authentication requires Oracle DBA role, or SQL sysadmin server role, or db_owner fixed database role.

VMWARE VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 INSTALL GUIDE UPGRADE

It may be necessary to temporarily stop any third party software which could interfere with the installer, such as anti-virus scanner (see post vCenter 6 Upgrade Internal Error).

A Windows based vCenter Server can be installed on either a physical or virtual machine.

The PSC machine requires Program Files 1 GB, Program Data 2 GB, System folder 1 GB.

The Windows vCenter Server requires the following free disk space for installation: (the first 2 may not necessarily be the system drive depending on installation location) Program Files 6 GB, Program Data 8 GB, System folder 3 GB.

Environments with ESXi host(s) with more than 512 LUNs and 2048 paths should be sized large or x-large.

Where the PSC is deployed on a separate machine this requires 2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM.

Medium (up to 400 hosts, 4000 VMs) вЂ“ 8 CPUs, 24 GB RAM.

Small (up to 100 hosts, 1000 VMs) вЂ“ 4 CPUs, 16 GB RAM.

Tiny (up to 10 hosts, 100 VMs) вЂ“ 2 CPUs, 10 GB RAM.

Windows vCenter Server with embedded PSC requires the following hardware resources:.

Most deployments will include the vCenter Server and PSC in one appliance, following the embedded deployment model, which I will use in this guide.

For more information on deploying an external PSC see the Deploying an External PSC post.

Larger environments may require an external PSC.

When implementing a new vSphere 6.5 environment you should plan your topology in accordance with the VMware vCenter Server and PSC Deployment Types.

You can read more about the PSC in this kb.

The PSC is deployed internally with vCenter Server or as an external component. The PSC contains infrastructure services such as Single Sign On, Certificate Authority, licensing, etc.

From vSphere 6 onwards the Platform Services Controller (PSC) was introduced to the vSphere architecture.

To check version compatibility with other VMware products see the Product Interoperability Matrix.

Any hosts you plan on connecting to vCenter 6.5 should be running version 5.5 or above.

as these may need upgrading for vSphere 6.5 compatibility.

You must check compatibility of any third party products and plugins that might be used for backups, anti-virus, monitoring, etc.

You can review a full list of compatible versions at the Database Interoperability Matrix.

An external database should be Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 or above, or Oracle 11g or 12c.

For environments with up to 20 hosts and 200 VMs the bundled internal Postgres database can be used.

VMWARE VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 INSTALL GUIDE 64 BIT

The operating system should be 64 bit and Windows Server 2008 SP2 or above.

Д«ut sounds like i will nee to roll it back.

Someone suggested if i could find a OVF template of some vcenter server I could do it that way. so yes im stuck on 6.0/6.5 but I am ok with that as a learning tool its all i need for now. and besides it would not work on my hardware anyways. I got on 6.5u2 so I am going to say i can probably get them running on 6.5u1Д®veryone I speak to says stay away from 7.x for now.

VMWARE VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 INSTALL GUIDE UPDATE

So it sounds like i need roll back or re-install to go back to 6.5.0 and update 1 if i want to be using the windows client. This is what I have for my personal lab, to learn on I was lucky to get a G5 and a MD1000 with a perc6e card and cables donated to me so I am grateful for that.

VMWARE VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 INSTALL GUIDE WINDOWS 10

Currently have a windows 10 pro and a 2016 server running on 6.5.0U2, Yes i wish i had $500 to spend. then after many hours of attempts i was able to upgrade to 6.5.0 from a depot file using exscli command, the client was still working on 6.5, I think my mistake was jumping from 6.5.0 directly to 6.5.0u2 as the windows client was still working on 6.5 and you say it still works on 6.5.0U1, I should have not jumped to U2. I originally got this G5 server with 6.0.
