The online VMware Compatibility Guide replaces the former compatibility guides for systems, I/O devices, operating systems, and storage arrays for ESX 3.0 and greater versions, as well as VMware View Client. For compatibility guides of other VMware products or earlier ESX releases and VMware View Client, please use the "Other Documents" tab.

To learn more about the benefits and usage of the online VMware Compatibility Guide web application, please see "Help on Searching".
