Starting with Data Center Expert 8.1.0, VMware ESXi 6.7 is used as the reference virtualization platform for the Data Center Expert virtual appliance.
In Data Center Expert 8.1.0 and higher, the OVA is created using ESXi 6.7. Only E1000E and VMXNET3 network adapters are supported. |
These instructions are for DCE versions 8.0.0 and older only
VMware ESXi 4.1.0 was used as the reference virtualization platform in DCE versions 8.0.0 and older.
The Data Center Expert 8.0.0. and older OVAs were created using ESXi 4.0. It supports version 4.1 and can run on versions up to 7.x but may have decreased capabilities on versions above 4.x.
You can upgrade the VM compatibility with later versions in the VMware UI, particularly to increase the number of CPUs extended to a DCE 8.0.0 and older VM.
When DCE version 8.0.0 and older is deployed to a ESXi 7.0 host, CPUs are limited to 8. After upgrading the VM compatibility, you can increase the CPUs based on the capabilities of the ESXi host.
-
Power off the VM in vSphere.
-
Right click the VM and select Compatibility > Upgrade VM Compatibility.
