Installing and Upgrading ACE Management Server
You can install one or more ACE Management Server instances to service the ACE instances in your enterprise.
If you set up multiple ACE Management Server instances, they all must be installed on either Windows hosts
or Linux hosts, or all must be installed as appliances.
To upgrade from ACE Management Server 2.0 to 2.6, use the same procedure as for installing the server for
the first time. When the installer detects an earlier version, it uninstalls the old version before installing the
new one. Configuration settings are preserved.
For production deployments, VMware recommends that ACE Management Server be installed on either a
dedicated server or a virtual platform with sufficient available resources to ensure performance and stability.
System requirements depend almost exclusively on the number of ACE instances being supported and the
frequency with which they are configured to communicate with the server. For more information about
VMware performance testing, see "Performing Capacity Planning" on page 15.
However, ACE Management Server was tested and can be installed on desktop or workstation platforms to
support a small number of clients or nonproduction evaluations.
Install an ACE Management Server on a Windows Host
Installing ACE Management Server on a Windows host involves downloading and running an installation
wizard. You can install ACE Management Server on the following Windows systems:
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP Professional (includes 64‐bit editions)
Windows 2000 Server
Before you begin, make sure the clock is synchronized and the required ports are available, as described in
"Preparing for Installation" on page 21.
Use this installation procedure to install or update ACE Management Server software.
To install an ACE Management Server on a Windows host

on the system that is to host the server.
The file is available as a separate downloadable file in the same download location as the Workstation
