Note on Clustering Support<\/strong> – Oracle RAC with active\/active\u00a0ONS clustering as well as Microsoft SQL Clustering does NOT appear to be supported based on the documentation. \u00a0I am personally trying to get some level of clarification on this topic.<\/p>\n

Supported Browser and Guest OS Versions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is\u00a0definitely\u00a0found in the Installation Guide<\/a> starting on Page 11<\/p>\n

Well Then, What is NOT Supported?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well it is safe to say as before if it is not listed in the installation guides or a KB then it is not supported. \u00a0There has been a lot of guest operating systems added for support and new browsers, but there is still some things unsupported like other Linux distributions for the director Cells. \u00a0There are features of vSphere 5 like Storage DRS which is also currently not supported and should in fact be disabled for now with 1.5. \u00a0Also previously mentioned was clustering of the vCloud Director Databases. \u00a0As always it may work, but if it is not supported just don’t do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
