ESXi and vsphere Installation configuration-enables a single computer hardware to be virtualized to two units

This article contains the following sections:

Installation of 1EXSI software and vsphere software

2 Installing the virtual system on vsphere

3 hardware virtualization through configuration for virtual systems, enabling hardware Passthrough

1.EXSI Installation

Download the exsi ISO image and vsphere installation software online, select a computer without a system installed through the U disk to make the boot disk installation Exsi system, the installation process is easy, after the installation of the system interface as shown, and then in the meeting press F2 for network settings, via IP Configuration option to set the static IP so that the IP does not work after it has changed. Remember that the current user and password also have a static IP set, which will be the IP address of the vsphere remote connection.

Install VSphere software on a single Windows version, which is the VMware vSphere Client 6.0.0 version, which is installed as instructed. So far, the installation environment and configuration are complete.

2 Open the Vsphere software, as shown in, enter the IP address of the EXSI system and the username and password before entering the computer that requires virtualization to telnet. Then select the file in the upper-left corner of the page-create a new virtual machine, then select Power On, select the start virtual Machine console at the top of the page, select Connect/disconnect the ISO image on the local disk from the CD/DVD device of the virtual machine in the Console window, select the prepared WIN10 system as the system to be installed.

3 times the goal is to virtualize a computer hardware into two computers with a win10 system, pass through the devices on the computer, and configure the two hosts to be completely isolated.

Open the Advanced settings in the configuration options for the EXSI system, click Configure Passthrough in the upper left corner as shown in

Because to hardware virtualization into two computers, so to prepare two video cards, this is also the tutorial difficulties, as long as the two video card set as hardware direct, the other device settings direct more convenient. Two video card direct selection tick, has a USB device tick (usually the computer has two USB Device Manager), the right mouse button has installed the virtual machine system, select-Edit settings-add-PCI device, select the video card to be assigned, click Finish, hardware properties will come out a PCI device, Enter the installed WIN10 system, download the video card driver through the official website, and set the video card to another computer, so the graphics card is successfully configured.

Restart the computer exsi system, this time Exsi system loaded into half appear successful only then stopped, when you can not see the EXSI system IP address, which is also the reason for the previous requirements to set the static IP, or later change will not be able to remotely control the EXSI system, At this time select one of the WIN10 system, right-turn power, when the monitor is connected to the system configuration of the graphics card, the interface will be from the EXSI system into the WIN10 system. Since a computer usually has only one sound card, it can only make one virtual machine sound, and the other needs to buy a different sound card. Because the CPU is shared, it does not need to be split in Split, so the maximum number of cores can be set directly.

Questions and Answers:

1 You cannot play the game on a virtual machine when the virtual machine does not support the game, the following settings are required:

Open vsphere Software, select Configure the following storage, locate the data storage installed WIN10 system as shown, right-browse the Datastore, find the location where the virtual machine system is installed (), download the zjutvis_1.vmx file to the local Notepad file to open, Add the following sentences below the code:

MONITOR_CONTROL.VIRTUAL_RDTSC = "false"
Monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"
Monitor_control.disable_directexec = "true"

After saving and replacing the file inside the virtual system, restarting the virtual machine will enable you to play a large game under the virtual machine.

2 for the EXSI system IP address is not set to static, resulting in a day IP will not be able to remotely control the EXSI system through vsphere, can be resolved by the following methods

Find a laptop connected by a network cable and a computer with Exsi system, set up a laptop to get IP address dynamically, this time the EXSI system IP address and the same as The notebook, The EXSI system can be controlled by the Vsphere software on top of the notebook (so it is strongly recommended to set the static IP when installing the EXSI system).
