Issue/Introduction

This article discribes the system requirements for the vCenter Server installer.

Environment

vCenter Server

Resolution

You can run the vCenter Server GUI or CLI installer from a network client machine that is running on a Windows, Linux, or Mac operating system of a supported version.
To ensure optimal performance of the GUI and CLI installers, use a client machine that meets the minimum hardware requirements.

• System Requirements for the GUI and CLI Installers

Operating System	Supported Versions	Minimum Hardware Configuration for Optimal Performance
Windows	Windows 10, 11 Windows 2016 x64 bit Windows 2019 x64 bit Windows 2022 x64 bit	4 GB RAM, 2 CPU having 4 cores with 2.3 GHz, 32 GB hard disk, 1 NIC
Linux	SUSE 15 Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 21.10	4 GB RAM, 1 CPU having 2 cores with 2.3 GHz, 16 GB hard disk, 1 NIC ※The CLI installer requires 64-bit OS.
Mac	macOS 10.15, 11, 12 macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey	8 GB RAM, 1 CPU having 4 cores with 2.4 GHz, 150 GB hard disk, 1 NIC

Additional Information

For client machines that run on Mac 10.15 or later, concurrent GUI deployments of multiple appliances are unsupported. You must deploy the appliances in a sequence.

Visual C++ redistributable libraries need to be installed to run the CLI installer on versions of Windows older than Windows 10. The Microsoft installers for these libraries are located in the vcsa-cli-installer/win32/vcredist directory.

Deploying the vCenter Server appliance with the GUI requires a minimum resolution of 1024x768 to properly display. Lower resolutions can truncate the UI elements.

Cannot guarantee operation if the requirements are not met.
