MWG Install in VmWare vCD

Jump to solution

It states that the VMware type is required to install Web Gateway installation is VMWare ESXi
But I want to know if it possible to install the MWG in VMWare Cloud Director (vCD)?

Hi @Former Member,

I cannot say for sure if this will technically work or not as I cannot test it. In general, it could work on other VM hosts as well but in case of issues, we might not support it (e.g. there were crashes on system, then engineering might come back and would say "non supported setup"). Therefore, recommendation is to meet 100% of the hardware requirements from our guides.

Here product guide:

Here a KB:

Both stating that VMWare ESXi is required or specific Hyper-V.
