These problems can be mitigated by ensuring you have built redundancy into the vCenter Server configuration. This is why VMware recommends a separate management cluster in large environments. What can be problematic is having vCenter as part of the environment it is managing or in the virtual cluster. You can deploy vCenter as a VM or as a physical server or Linux virtual appliance.ĭeploying vCenter as a VM used to be a heated topic, but doing so has now become common practice and is also a VMware best practice.

vCenter 5 is a 64-bit operating system and so requires Windows 2008 R2. The following steps assume you are deploying Microsoft SQL 2008 R2. VMware recommends that SQL Express be used in environments of no more than 5 hosts with 50 virtual machines. Although this limit used to be fixed at 4 GB, it is now fixed at 10 GB. VMware generally recommends that you use Microsoft SQL 2008 Express for smaller environments because it has a fixed limit on how large the database can grow.
