Host System Requirements
What do you need to get the most out of VMware GSX Server? Take the following list of requirements as a starting point. Remember that the virtual machines running under GSX Server are like physical computers in many ways — and, like physical computers, they generally perform better if they have faster processors, more memory and sufficient disk space.
Be aware that system requirements may change after this manual has been printed. For the latest system requirements, go to the VMware Web site at www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/intro_sysreqs_host_gsx.html.
Note: VMware GSX Server 3 is supported only on host processors and host operating systems running in 32-bit mode; processors and operating systems running in 64-bit mode are not supported.
Note: VMware GSX Server (for Windows and Linux hosts) is not localized and does not support internationalization. However, virtual machines created with the localized version of VMware Workstation for Windows still work with GSX Server, even though certain elements do not display properly in GSX Server.
Server Requirements
Server Host Hardware
VMware GSX Server supports up to 32-way multiprocessor servers. The number of virtual machines you can run concurrently depends on the resources they require, but VMware recommends you run no more than four virtual machines concurrently per processor. You can run a maximum of 64 virtual machines concurrently on one host.
Standard x86-based server with up to 32 CPUs
733MHz or faster compatible x86 processor that supports the Pentium® instruction set
Compatible processors include
Intel®: Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium III Xeon, Pentium 4, Xeon
AMD: Athlon, Athlon XP
Multiprocessor systems supported
Memory
You need enough memory to run the Windows or Linux host operating system plus memory required for each guest operating system and applications on the host and each guest; see your guest operating system and application documentation for their memory requirements.
Minimum: 512MB
Maximum: 64GB for Windows hosts and Linux hosts that support large memory or are PAE-enabled; 4GB for non-PAE-enabled Windows hosts; 2GB for Linux hosts with kernels in the 2.2.x series
Display
16-bit display adapter recommended; greater than 256-color (8-bit) display adapter required
Linux hosts must have an X server that meets the X11R6 specification (such as XFree86) and a video adapter supported by that server to run guest operating systems in full screen mode. If an X server is not installed, you must install one, such as XFree86. XFree86 version 3.3.4 or higher is recommended, with XFree86 4.0 preferred.
Host Hard Disk Requirements
130MB free disk space on Windows hosts required for server, VMware Management Interface, VmPerl API, VmCOM API and VMware Virtual Machine Console installation
20MB free disk space on Linux hosts required for server, VMware Management Interface, VmPerl API and VMware Virtual Machine Console installation
At least 1GB free disk space recommended for each guest operating system and the application software used with it; using a default setup, the actual disk space needs are approximately the same as those for installing and running the guest operating system and applications on a physical computer
IDE or SCSI hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives supported
Guest operating systems can reside in virtual disk files or on physical (raw) disk partitions
Local Area Networking
Any Ethernet controller supported by the host operating system
Non-Ethernet networks supported using built-in network address translation (NAT) or using a combination of host-only networking plus routing software on the host operating system
Static IP address for your host machine (recommended)
Windows Host Operating Systems
You need a Windows server operating system. If you intend to use the VMware Management Interface, Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 or 6.0 must be installed.
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4
The VmPerl Scripting API requires Perl 5.005x or higher.
The VMware Management Interface requires one of these browsers:
Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 (6.0 highly recommended)
Netscape® Navigator 7.0
Mozilla 1.x
Note: As newer browser versions are released, VMware tests the management interface for stability and reliability with these versions. We make every effort to add support for new browser versions in a timely manner, but until a browser is added to the above list, its use with our product is not supported. For the latest system requirements, go to the VMware Web site at www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/ intro_sysreqs_host_gsx.html.
Linux Host Operating Systems
Supported distributions and kernels are listed below. GSX Server may not run on systems that do not meet these requirements.
Note: As newer Linux kernels and distributions are released, VMware modifies and tests its products for stability and reliability on those host platforms. We make every effort to add support for new kernels and distributions in a timely manner, but until a kernel or distribution is added to the list below, its use with our product is not supported. Look for newer prebuilt modules in the Download area of our Web site. Go to www.vmware.com/download/ For the list of supported kernels, go to the VMware Web site at www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/intro_sysreqs_host_gsx.html.

Information about Running GSX Server on Some SuSE Linux Hosts
Keep in mind the following when running GSX Server on certain SuSE Linux hosts.
SLES 8 — Install gcc on your SLES 8 host before installing GSX Server.
SLES 7 — If you intend to upgrade the kernel, make sure you deselect any Samba components when you apply the update patch, as the patch incorrectly updates Samba on your host. Running the update with the Samba packages selected can result in serious issues on your host like system hangs or segmentation faults.
