Check VMware hardware compatibility online
December 17th, 2008 | 
Author: Forget about having to download and read through the VMware hardware compatibility lists (HCL) in .pdf format. Now you can quickly and easily see if hardware is VMware certified online. The new Compatibility Guides web page lets you search by hardware manufacturer, model number, or even by keyword.
Some quick information from the new site’s help page:
The new online compatibility guide provides a single point of access for all VMware hardware compatibility guides. The new search tool streamlines the HCL posting process and offers advanced search capabilities and the ability to save the guide(s) or search results in a .PDF or csv format.
The new hardware compatibility guide replaces the following legacy PDF-format HCLs:
- VMware ESX 3.0.x and above version Systems Compatibility Guide
- VMware ESX 3.0.x and above version SAN (storage) Compatibility Guide
- VMware ESX 3.0.x and above version I/O Compatibility Guide
- VMware View Client Compatibility Guide
