Installing Vcenter on Server 2012

Uhtred · 16 Apr 2013 at 15:06

We are running 5.1.0, 947673.

Is this fully supported yet? I have seen conflicting KBs on the subject so I am a bit confused :confused:

Nope. It uses a number of storage features which are deprecated in 2012.

If you did want to install it on Server 2012 here is a good guide > http://vniklas.djungeln.se/2012/09/14/installing-vsphere-vcenter-5-1-on-windows-2012/

Thanks, I had seen that and a couple of other guides. I was trying to find out if anything had changed since they were written but it seems not.

It is a production system so if it isn't supported then I will leave it where it is (2008 R2 box).

Guide looks good. Are there also some hardware requirements on top of this?
