Determining vCenter resource requirements
The minimum system requirements for the vCenter Server are dependent on the size of the environment managed by the vCenter Server. Sizing vCenter Server correctly will ensure proper operation. The size of the vCenter inventory, the number of hosts, and the number of virtual machines all have an impact on the amount of resources required. Running multiple vCenter Server components, an embedded PSC, for example, also determines the amount of resources that will need to be allocated to the vCenter Server.
How to do it…
The following steps will help you determine the vCenter system requirements:
- Estimate the number of host and virtual machines that will be managed by the vCenter Server.
- Determine whether all the vCenter Server components will be installed on a single server or on separate servers.
- Size the vCenter Server to support the managed inventory.
