VmWare

[abalint]

Hi,

I like to install ZCS on vmware.
Is that supported?

B.

Well it would all depend on which Guest O/S you are going to use ... Certainly in ZCS 6.0.2 Xen support will be included.

I'm going to use RHEL5 or Windows 2003 Server.

That may be the host OS.
Either way, Zimbra inside a Vm is find so long as the guest os is a supported one.

NB, that will be support for 64bit only.

You may also want to note that openSUSE is no longer a supported platform for Zimbra from version 6.x onwards - perhaps you'd like to change platforms.

looks like we finally have the official answer we were looking for (see comment #3)

openSUSE is no longer a supported platform with such reason, the one because a small amount of installation compared to others, so, it would be helped to openSUSE community to spread Zimbra usage based on openSUSE so Zimbra would be possible to supporting openSUSE again
