VCM operates with a Standard or Enterprise edition of SQL Server. You must install the 64-bit SQL Server
2008 R2, English (United States) version on your designated database server machine and verify that the
settings are configured correctly for a VCM installation. For information about installing the VCM
Collector on a non-English operating system, see the VMware knowledge base article at
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1035034.For information about VCM Agent support on non-English platforms,
see the VMware knowledge base article at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008337.
Install SQL Server on the VCMCollector
In a single-tier installation configuration, the VCM database server resides on the same server on which
you install VCM. The database server contains the VCM, VCM_Coll, VCM_Raw, and VCM_UNIX
databases. You must configure the VCM database server before you install VCM in a single-tier
installation configuration.
CAUTION If your Windows machine has an evaluation version of SQLServer StandardEdition or
Enterprise Edition, use it only for evaluation purposes. Do not use an evaluation version in a
production environment, because it is not officially supported for production.
