Supported virtualization environments
All components of Portal for ArcGIS are fully supported on virtual environments as long as they run on supported platforms. See supported platforms above. When running third-party applications with Portal for ArcGIS, such as relational databases, the application must also be supported in a virtual environment. Check the third-party vendor for its virtualization support.
If an issue is found to be specific to Esri software in a virtual environment, Esri Support Services will attempt to reproduce the issue on a stand-alone machine. If an issue cannot be reproduced with any of the supported platforms above on a stand-alone machine, Esri will not provide a fix or further support for issues that are specific to virtual environments except when the issues are in the following VM environments:
- VMWare vSphere 4
