vCenter Server 6.0 or 6.5, managing a cluster of ESXi 6.0 or 6.5 hosts, with VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler™ (DRS) enabled.You can deploy virtual container hosts (VCHs) in the following types of setup: Supported Configurations for Virtual Container Host Deployment The HTML5 vSphere Client plug-in for vSphere Integrated Containers requires vCenter Server 6.5.0d or later. The HTML5 plug-in for vSphere 6.5 has a more extensive feature set that allows you to deploy and interact with VCHs.The Flex-based plug-in for vSphere 6.0 and 6.5 has limited functionality and only provides information about VCHs and container VMs.VSphere Integrated Containers provides a basic plug-in for the Flex-based vSphere Web Client and a more feature-complete plug-in for the HTML5 vSphere Client: The disk space for the appliance uses thin provisioning.

At least 80GB free disk space on the datastore.Deploying the appliance directly on an ESXi host is not supported. You deploy the vSphere Integrated Containers appliance on a vCenter Server instance. vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance Requirements The different components of vSphere Integrated Containers have different virtual infrastructure requirements. Deployment of VCHs fails if your environment includes one or more ESXi hosts that have inadequate licenses. VSphere Integrated Containers requires a vSphere Enterprise Plus license.Īll of the ESXi hosts in a cluster require an appropriate license.
