Here's a simple ESXI5.5, VMware vSphere5.5, VCenter Server 5.5 relationship, ESXI5.5 is the underlying operating system, installed on bare metal (server, desktop, etc.), can also be installed in the VMware Workstation's. VCenter Server 5.5 centralizes all ESXI5.5 and gives it to VMware VSphere 5.5. VMware VSphere 5.5 is used to manage all of the servers submitted by Vcenter Server 5.5 and provides a centralized configuration management interface that can be used to implement vmotion (online migration), DRS (distributed resource Scheduling), HA (high availability), and FT (fault tolerance) capabilities. (Personal understanding Master Don't shoot bricks oh).

Preparatory work:

1. Install Microsoft. NET 3.5

2. Install Desktop Experience (because Windows Server R2 has integrated Adobe Flash play into the desktop experience)

3, install the database (of course, can not install, with its own simple database, limited management capacity)

4. Start installing Vcenter Server 5.5

2, VCenter Server 5.5 at the end of the installation, will appear in the Directory service installation is not the case.

3, it is recommended not to use simple installation, this way is very convenient, but also more prone to problems, the best step by step installation, record good user name and password.
