NetIQ Corporation supports virtualized installations of AppManager components using VMware vSphere. In a VMware vSphere environment, NetIQ Corporation supports non-clustered configurations and clustered configurations using Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS). For more information about the AppManager components NetIQ Corporation supports on MSCS, see Section D.0, Installing on Microsoft Cluster Service.
To install AppManager components in a virtual environment, the virtual environment must meet the requirements for the applicable components as described in this chapter.
While NetIQ Corporation expects AppManager components to function properly in a VMware vSphere environment, there might be performance implications that invalidate typical sizing and implementation recommendations. If you have questions about installing and using AppManager in a VMware vSphere environment, contact Technical Support.
If you install components on virtual hardware, when you view software inventory information, AppManager might identify the components by the name of the physical computer hosting the virtual computer instead of by the virtual computer name.
