Vsphere 5.0 development series (I) vsphere 5.0 environment setup

First, we need to briefly understand the overall design structure of vsphere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's start working as a server.

I. First create an esxi5.0 Server

1. Find a clean server (esxi is equivalent to the operating system, so an independent server is required ). Hardware virtualization is required!
2. Use ultraiso to burn the USB flash drive (same as winpe), and then start the USB flash drive to boot the installation.
3. During the installation process, select the installation partition and enter the root password to complete the installation.
4. Local client machine (Personal PC or laptop), enter the esxi Server IP address, open the following page, it indicates that the installation is successful.

   In this case, you can download and install the vsphere client, and connect to the esxi server to experience the installation.

   At this time, the connection is independent server, so the list only has one machine.

Ii. Create vcenter again

5. Find another server with Windows 2003 or Windows installed for the vcenter server.

6. vcenter servers are generally added to the domain. Before installation, check the following information.

1) log on to the DNS server and check whether the vcenter server is registered in the forward DNS region (this is normal)

2) Open the reverse region and register the vcenter server in the reverse region. Otherwise, the complete name cannot be verified during installation. (You need to manually add them)

3) it is best not to install the IIS server on the vcenter machine (port 80 and port 8080 are used by default, so it is best to use an independent server)

4) configure the system ODBC Data Source. Be sure to use a 64-bit data source. (No one should use the master database. Of course, a separate database is required)

7. Install vcenter

1) use any virtual optical drive software to load

2) install the vcenter Server

If you do not install IIS on the machine, the following prompt will not appear:

You can find a key ~

Because I have already installed it here, it will not be Paster.

Note that the complete name is the machine name. Domain Name. If the verification fails, confirm the reverse DNS settings.

The installation can be completed in the next step.

The figure below comes from the network

Use the system account (local account)

Or use the domain account

Set as needed.

This is because the first vcenter server selects the first item,

The second option is used for multi-layer structure management.

Note that it is a 4.0 image, so there is a difference, but this complete domain name is the same, to do reverse DNS.

Related port, preferably default, otherwise it will be changed everywhere!

OK. Start installation.

The installation is successful.

8. Use the vsphere client to connect to the vcenter for testing.

Create a data center first.

Add host

Yes

You can assign a license, which is evaluated here.

Not locked

Select location

Complete

 

Now, the most basic vsphere structure is complete, and several virtual machines can be created to experience it.

In general, because esxi is independent of the operating system, the memory usage is very small, and the performance is greatly improved, it feels good ~
