Requirements for Collector Machines
Your system must meet specific software requirements before you install VCM. The requirements are
organized into steps, and you must perform each step in the order specified to ensure a smooth and
efficient VCM installation. The final step in preparing your VCM Collector is to download and run the
Foundation Checker tool. Running Foundation Checker helps you verify that you have satisfied all of the
software requirements necessary to install VCM.
All software requirements apply to your single server. For more information about installation
configurations, see "Understand VCM Installation Configurations" on page 8.
Sizing Impacts on Software Requirements
Use the total number of managed machines that you identified in "Determine the Size of Your
Environment" on page 11 to locate your environment size (1–1000, 1000–2000, 2000–5000, or more). If you
have more than 2,000 managed machines on a single Collector, contact VMware Technical Support for
your specific requirements.
If you are deploying VCM in an environment with more than 5,000 managed machines, contact VMware
for software component recommendations.
