vCenter Server v4.0 on Windows 2008 Datacenter Edition 64-bit

[mattjk]

Hi all,

Page 15 of the vSphere Compatibility Matrix () shows that vCenter Server v4.0 isn't compatible with Windows 2008 Datacenter Edition 64-bit as it's host OS (i.e., the OS of the machine vCenter Server runs on).

It seems really odd to us that vCenter Server v4.0 is compatible with Windows 2008 Standard and Enterprise 64-bit, and even Datacenter 32-bit, but not Datacenter 64-bit.

Does anyone have any clues as to why Windows 2008 Datacenter 64-bit is listed as incompatible?

Cheers,

Matt Kilham

I can't answer your question exactly, but I can tell you that I have vCenter 4 installed on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter (which is 64-bit). It has been working fine.
