Review the following requirements and considerations before creating a virtual failover client (VFC) on an ESX server.
• The ESX server must be running ESXi version 5.0 or higher.
• The ESX server must be a registered client of the Unitrends appliance from which you will create the VFC.
• The ESX server must have enough resources to run the VFC. You must assign the VFC a minimum of 1024MB of memory. The memory must be a multiple of 4.
• The appliance creates a VFC with a disk the same size as the disk on the original client. For Windows clients with disks larger than 2 TB, the VFC must be created on an ESX server running ESXi 5.5 or higher.
• The VFC virtual machine is configured with the latest hardware version supported by the ESX server. For example, a VFC created on a server running ESXi version 5.5 is configured with hardware version 10.
• The VFC can run on the same ESX server as a UEB VM or on a different ESX server.
