Build a virtualized platform with VMware vsphere

Core components

Vsphere is a system that can be installed and run on naked machines independently, so unlike other VMware Workstation software we have seen before, it is no longer dependent on the host operating system. After ESXi is installed, we can create multiple VMS (virtual machines) on the ESXi server with vsphere Client remote connection control, and install the Linux/windows Server system for these virtual machines to become virtual servers that provide a variety of network application services , ESXi also supports hardware virtualization from the kernel level, and virtual servers running in it are as common as hardware servers in terms of performance and stability, and are easier to manage and maintain.

Key Benefits

· Ensure business continuity and always-on availability of IT.
· Reduce IT hardware and operational costs.
· Improve application quality.
· Enhance security and data protection capabilities.

Application Introduction

· Eliminate downtime and protect data-achieve always-available IT with virtual machine live migration and application high availability in virtual machine clusters.

· Consolidation optimizes IT investments-achieve 10:1 or higher consolidation ratios, increasing hardware utilization from 5%-15% to 80% or higher without sacrificing application performance.

· Maximize application availability and protect information assets-ensure always-available IT operational continuity through Vsphere's solid reliability and integrated backup, recovery, and failover capabilities.

· Simplify management and increase productivity-deploy new applications in minutes, not days or weeks, monitor virtual machine performance, and automate patch and update management.

· Optimize the software development process-allow test and development teams to securely test complex multi-tiered configurations in a secure, isolated sandbox environment while sharing server, network, and storage infrastructures.

Construction process--u Disc making

Note: I built the hard software--dell rack server, ESXi 6.5.0 (). When I set up, began to use the UNetbootin and the old peaches to make the U disk is not successfully installed, it is estimated that I operate the problem.

1, using the UltraISO tool to make a U disk boot 2, according to the red Box point selection operation

3. Select the target drive letter that needs to be burned, the write format is usb-hdd+ or it can be USB-HDD


4, write will format the U disk, so if it is not an empty U disk please back up the data before operation, after the completion of the original U disk contents can be copied back

5, Burning complete 6, after burning is not busy to shut down and unplug the USB flash drive, the following step is very important, if not executed, the USB flash drive is not bootable, on the device installed on the back of the prompt can not find the startup item

7. Click to start easily
8, follow the red box to select the operation, follow the red Arrow below operation

9. after writing, do not rush to unplug the USB stick, open the USB flash drive, find the root directory of the Isolinux.cfg file, modified to Syslinux.cfg, as shown (note: syslinux.cfg files are not required when I do the exact operation)

Modified to:

10, exit the U disk, this time you can take the U disk to install.Note that it is important to start here with EFI by default BIOS boot.

Build process-Install Exis system with u disk

First the server into the BIOS system, into the boot manager, to find a ^_^, choose EFI boot, USB stick boot priority.

After that, the Enter will enter the F11 F11 until

This installs successfully, enters the BIOS to restore the BIOS, the hard disk boots. Restart the server will go to the Exis main interface, you can see the server information, careful words you will find that the IP address is wrong

F2 Entering the configuration page

Enter, and then select IPV4 Configuration, the IPV4 address changed to the correct IP address. and hostname change, no records, no stickers.

After the configuration is successful, remember to save, you can access the server IP through your computer, enter the account password into the main interface to start doing whatever you like.

The above is my building process, there are a lot of Baidu method, so a lot of pictures are old pictures of new use. The version number and IP will not be on, but the steps are no problem, do look.
