RHEL Download for vCloud Director 5.1

Hi,

I haven't found a way to download RHEL 5 or 6 from redhat.com. Actually the "oldest" published version is RHEL 7.1, however this version is not supported according to vcd_512_install.pdf.

For the lab I've downloaded the 5.1.1-.ova.

What's the supported setup path for production?

Daniel

You can signup for a RedHat account and download the product free of charge. You only have to pay in order to get support and patches working.

You can run it on CentOS as well but it will not be supported by VMware.

Think VMware might need to give the offical answer on this, however I will let you know what I have seen done.

As RedHat sells thier product your sales agent should be able to get you the older version.

Thanks!
