 **vCenter Server/ESXi host** | You need a server running vCenter Server version 8.0, 7.0, 6.7, 6.5, 6.0, or 5.5.<br /><br /> Servers must be hosted on an ESXi host running version 5.5 or later.<br /><br /> On the vCenter Server, allow inbound connections on TCP port 443 so that the appliance can collect configuration and performance metadata.<br /><br /> The appliance connects to vCenter Server on port 443 by default. If the server running vCenter Server listens on a different port, you can modify the port when you provide the vCenter Server details in the appliance configuration manager.<br /><br /> On the ESXi hosts, make sure that inbound access is allowed on TCP port 443 for discovery of installed applications and for agentless dependency analysis on servers.
 **Azure Migrate appliance** | vCenter Server must have these resources to allocate to a server that hosts the Azure Migrate appliance:<br /><br /> - 32 GB of RAM, 8 vCPUs, and approximately 80 GB of disk storage.<br /><br /> - An external virtual switch and internet access on the appliance server, directly or via a proxy.
 **Servers** | All Windows and Linux OS versions are supported for discovery of configuration and performance metadata. <br /><br /> For application discovery on servers, all Windows and Linux OS versions are supported. Check the [OS versions supported for agentless dependency analysis](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#dependency-analysis-requirements-agentless).<br /><br /> For discovery of installed applications and for agentless dependency analysis, VMware Tools (version 10.2.1 or later) must be installed and running on servers. Windows servers must have PowerShell version 2.0 or later installed.<br /><br /> To discover SQL Server instances and databases, check [supported SQL Server and Windows OS versions and editions](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#sql-server-instance-and-database-discovery-requirements) and Windows authentication mechanisms.<br /><br /> To discover ASP.NET web apps running on IIS web server, check [supported Windows OS and IIS versions](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#web-apps-discovery-requirements).<br /><br />  To discover Java web apps running on Apache Tomcat web server, check [supported Linux OS and Tomcat versions](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#web-apps-discovery-requirements). 
-**SQL Server access** | To discover SQL Server instances and databases, the Windows or SQL Server account [requires these permissions](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#configure-the-custom-login-for-sql-server-discovery) for each SQL Server instance. You can use the [account provisioning utility](../least-privilege-credentials.md) to create custom accounts or use any existing account that is a member of the sysadmin server role for simplicity.
