L.4.1 Installing SwyxWare in a virtual machine

To create a virtual machine, refer to the vSphere documentation for details: docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-55238059-912E-411F-A0E9-A7A536972A91.html

The dimensioning of the VM should be done as for a normal SwyxWare installation based on the known Windows Server and SwyxWare hardware requirements.

We recommend to keep the number of vCPUs and the RAM low at the beginning, to observe the VM in operation with vSphere means and to adjust vCPUs and RAM accordingly to get optimal values.

The installation of SwyxWare in a VM is no different from the installation on physical hardware, see 5 SwyxWare InstallationSwyxWare Installing HealthMonitor
