vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 based on SLES?

[techdatasystems]

Trying to ascertain whether there is available an ISO image containing a SLES based version of the vCenter Server 6.5 appliance? Trying to build a lab for training purposes and noticed that the newer Photon based VCSA is much more intensive on the resource requirements. I went back as far as "VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.5.0.5100-4602597_OVF10" and finding it's still Photon. I'll be running this inside of VMware Workstation 14.

Thanks in advance for the shared information.

VCSA 6.5 is built on Photon OS. You won't find SLES version.

You can edit VM settings after it's deployed and set any number of vCPUs and RAM as you want.
