Can OpsCenter run on a VM, or does it have to be a physical server?

It can be a VM. We have fairly large customers running OpsCenter on VMs.

Just take note of resource requirements in the manual.

I run mine as Linux VM's with no issues.  Just make sure you allocate enough resources.

Bharath,

OpsCenter will run in a Virtual Machine, however, please note the following:

• OpsCenter Server and Agent are supported in a VMware virtual machine guest operating system environment.  (Page 103 - OpsCenter Admin Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5042 )
• ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• OpsCenter does not collect data from the managed servers that are configured
  within a network address translation (NAT) network. (This could be an issue with some VM / Network Configurations)
• The OpsCenter server should be configured as a fixed host with a static IP address
• Minimum of 8GB of RAM - Recommended / Allocated to VM Host.

  If performance of the VM does not meet your needs, you can alway migrate the OpsCenter database to a physical host at a later date.
