Hello All,

Is it possible to install any version of Firesight management center virtual appliance in vmware ESXi 6?.

Thanks and Regards

I haven't tried it personally

I haven't tried it personally - it may be possible to install.

However ESXi 6.x is not a supported platform yet. Even with the recently released FirePOWER (new name for FireSIGHT) Management Center 6.0, the supported ESXi versions are 5.1 and 5.5.

The source of this information is the Release Notes:

I tried on ESXi 6.0. It is not working properly.Perl scripts are not running and database is failed to start.I am not able to open the home page as well

Once i moved to ESXi 5.5, application is working like a charm.

Stick with ESXi 5.5 for now

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for letting us know.

Watch those release notes - 6.1 (sometime in the next couple of months) might update the supported ESXi versions.

I have the a 2-unit FirePOWER management center (6.0.0) running in production under ESXi 6 without issue, so this must be a "Your Mileage May Vary" instance.

I have Cisco FirePOWER
