Guest OS Compatibility Guide
Guest OS Compatibility Guide Last Updated: September 29, 2021 For more information go to vmware.com. Introduction VMware provides the widest virtualization support for guest operating systems in the industry to enable your environments and maximize your investments. The VMware Compatibility Guide shows the certification status of operating system releases for use as a Guest OS by the following VMware products: • VMware ESXi/ESX Server 3.0 and later • VMware Workstation 6.0 and later • VMware Fusion 2.0 and later • VMware ACE 2.0 and later • VMware Server 2.0 and later
VMware Certification and Support Levels VMware product support for operating system releases can vary depending upon the specific VMware product release or update and can also be subject to: • Installation of specific patches to VMware products • Installation of specific operating system patches • Adherence to guidance and recommendations that are documented in knowledge base articles VMware attempts to provide timely support for new operating system update releases and where possible, certification of new update releases will be added to existing VMware product releases in the VMware Compatibility Guide based upon the results of compatibility testing.
Tech Preview Operating system releases that are shown with the Tech Preview level of support are planned for future support by the VMware product but are not certified for use as a Guest OS for one or more of the of the following reasons: • The operating system vendor has not announced the general availability of the OS release. • Not all blocking issues have been resolved by the operating system vendor. • One or more required enabling changes are not available in the form of a VMware product update or patch release.

• Compatibility testing of a new OS update release is not complete.
VMware will not provide support for operating system releases shown with the Tech Preview level of support and does not recommend use of this operating system release for critical production workloads. Although VMware will publish usage recommendation and known issues that should be considered when attempting to use these operating system releases for evaluation and testing purposes.
Operating Systems That the Operating System Vendor No Longer Supports For operating system releases listed in this guide that the operating system vendor no longer supports, VMware may, at its sole discretion, provide support and fixes to VMware products to address problems that are exposed by running such operating system releases on a VMware virtual machine. VMware is not responsible for resolving problems with, or providing support or fixes to, the operating system itself.
Deprecated Support Prior to terminating support for operating system releases, VMware will announce that the support for select operating system releases has been deprecated in the product release notes and the VMware Compatibility Guide will show the support level for these releases as deprecated.
Terminated Support VMware does not provide support for operating system releases with terminated support. Operating system releases with terminated support will not appear in the search results within the VMware Compatibility Guide for VMware product releases where support is no longer available.
Certification by Operating System Vendors The following operating system vendors provide certifications for VMware virtual hardware: • Microsoft – http://windowsservercatalog.com/ • Red Hat – https://hardware.redhat.com/ • Novell – http://developer.novell.com/yessearch/
Support for 64-Bit Guest Operating Systems To install and run 64-bit guest operating systems you need to fulfill the following requirements.
Requirements for all VMware products: To install and run a 64-bit guest operating system, you must have a supported 64-bit CPU in the host computer and you must be running a VMware product that supports 64-bit guests. For details, see the documentation for your VMware product. For more information about hardware and firmware requirements for 64-bit guest operating systems, refer to knowledge base article 1003945 at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003945 .
Additional requirements for products with a Type-2 or Hosted Hypervisor:

You can run 64-bit guests on supported 64-bit hardware (Intel or AMD) running either 32-bit or 64-bit host operating systems.
For 64-bit Intel hardware with VT support, running either 32-bit or 64-bit host operating systems, you must enable VT in the host machine BIOS.
Installation of Guest Operating System Instruction for installation of various types of Guest Operating Systems releases is provided on-line at http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/home.html .
VMware Tools VMware Tools is a suite of device drivers and utilities that enhances the performance of the guest operating system and improves management of the virtual machine. Although a guest operating system can run without VMware Tools, you lose important functionality and convenience. VMware Tools is provided in these formats: • Virtual ISO Image Files - packaged within each VMware product • Operating System Specific Packages (OSPs) – which are available on-line for select operating systems here at http://www.vmware.com/download/packages.html For a complete description and instructions for installing and upgrading VMware Tools, see one of the following manuals on the VMware Documentation Web site: • VMware Workstation - Workstation User's Manual • VMware ESX - Basic System Administration Guide • VMware Server - VMware Server User's Guide • VMware Player - in-product online help • Fusion - in-product online help
