VMware vCenter Server

To enable virtual management for VMware vCenter Server, verify that you have one of the following components installed in your environment:

VMware ESX Server

VMware ESXi Server Version 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, or 5.5 is required to create VM sessions.

Note: ESX and ESXi Server support require that a vCenter Server is configured to manage the ESX or ESXi servers.

VMware vCenter Server

VMware vCenter Server version 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, or 5.5 is required to clone and migrate virtual machines and to manage the VMware vSphere or Virtual Infrastructure environment.

Note: VMware Tools optimize the virtualization of VMs and it is strongly recommended that they are installed on each VM in your VMware environment. Some features of this product will not be available or may not function correctly for VMs that do not have VMware Tools installed. For this reason, VMs that do not have VMware tools installed are not supported.
