Installation and use of VMware VSphere virtualization platform

First explain these nouns,

What is vsphere?

VSphere is a complete set of packages released by VMware, a suite of server virtualization solutions from VMware, including products such as VMware ESXi hypervisor,vmware vCenter Server

What is ESXi?

ESXi is a hypervisor (hypervisor), a virtual layer similar to Xen, used to virtualize the hardware of the X86 server. You install another OS on ESXi just like installing an OS on other hardware. Once ESXi is installed on one X86 server hardware, the underlying hardware is virtualized, which means that you can create, configure, multiple virtual machines and OS (Linux and Windows) with this server

What is VCenter server?

The VCenter server server is a tool for managing one or more ESXi servers.

What is VSphere client?

The VSphere client controls the client program on ESXI through its remote connection. The VSphere client can manage only one ESXi host at a time, and vcenter server manages multiple ESXi servers at the same time.

The above are from the Internet to find, personal knowledge is not much, if there are errors please correct me.

Personal Understanding: First install the ESXI,ESXI version on the server must match with information such as the server manufacturer.

Description: This guide is intended for VMware ESXI6.0 version, server system Windows Server

First, the preparatory work

Build the tools that VMware virtual machines need to prepare:

1, VMware ESXI 6.0(need to download the image file that conforms to the server brand version, is http://guanjianfeng.com/archives/1159908)

2, VMware VcenterSetup6.0(online to find the installation package can be)

3, VMware Client 6.0(online to find the installation package can be)

4, external optical drive (tested ESXI system can only be installed through the optical drive, if the actual environment does not have an optical drive, prepare a spare)

5.6.0 version Registration machine

The following Baidu network disk Link has a special ESXI6.0 for the HP server ISO file, as long as the CD can be burned. Link: Https://pan.baidu.com/s/1tin51aEY0TbERczagX-JBQ Password: Nyka

Second, the installation process

1.First inVcenterinstalled on the hostVMware VcenterSetup6.0and theVMware Client6.0Follow the installation package prompts during the installation process, it is important to note thatVMware Client6.0server is required to install. net3.5(and installed not installed. net4.0,. net4.5it doesn't matter),Windows Serverinstallation. net3.5Process Reference "Windows Serverinstallation. net3.5"Document

2, Install the VMware ESXI6.0 system on the host, set the good host password during the installation, set the IP and hostname after the reboot (online with detailed text tutorial, reference address:

Http://jingyan.baidu.com/article/925f8cb8f35a25c0dde056f6.html), the process needs to be noted that the CD-ROM installation,U The plate is not working.

3, personal experience, the host password directly set to 1234567, convenient and good remember.

4, the following is a disorderly remember just for their own later can see understand, is to elaborate their own operation of memory.

(1) Insert the external optical drive on the server, put on the CD that has been burned esxi6.0, restart the server, and you will enter the installation interface.

(2) At this time there will be two options, directly select the top with the ESXi option, the installation will appear on their own interface.

(3) Here is the focus Ah, because the above Baidu experience did not say this paragraph, after the second step will be automatic installation, is hard to the left hard to play code, the above will have a progress bar, loaded after the content of the above Baidu experience, what license, set the password ( set the password time to see clearly , the default user name is root, do not need to fill in the user name, both need to fill in the password, one is the password, one is to repeatedly enter the password, remember, remember, not let you enter the user name, and then enter the password, and password length is a minimum of seven characters length ), select Keyboard and so on.

(4) After the installation is complete, the prompt restarts, and then the disc will automatically eject, which means that the installation has been completed!

(5) Again after the restart, there are two separate interface, in fact, two paragraph letter interval is relatively large, press F2 will let you enter the user name and password, the user name is the default root, directly enter your password on the line.

(6) Then you can set the IP, the Baidu experience of the link has introduced, it is not verbose.

(7) Encountered problems, set up DNS and host name, when the test tests sometimes parse the name failure, I do not know why, but seemingly no impact.

5, Next is the use of vsphere Client management has been installed ESXi server, because I did not start from the beginning, the first unknown, from the beginning of my operation to say it.

( add a paragraph.) This is the beginning of the predecessor of the operation steps:

1, the first step and the second step after the completion of the client login vcenter, through the registration machine generated a registration code to activate vcenter

2, create the data center in vcenter, create the cluster, and then add the host, you need to note that the host user name is the default root, password for the installation of ESXi password set in the procedure

3, create the virtual machine as needed, install the virtual machine and the related plug-in, and create the virtual machine in bulk by cloning.

4, if you need to change the virtual machine hardware configuration needs to turn off the virtual machine modification)

(1) First add the host, enter the host IP and user name and password, and then directly next

Next

Next, at this time must choose the red option, otherwise there will be a deadline, this license is in the register machine to get, Baidu network disk that connection inside also have.

Then click the input key, the registration machine inside the secret key copy and paste, you can no time limit.

Registration machine such as

Shown below, that means normal.

The next lock mode to see your own needs, it is best not to lock.

Next select resource pool, also look at personal needs, I am directly default first.

The final step is to complete the addition of the host.

6, added after the host has actually added a piece of hard disk space is the data storage space, generally also about 270G, such as

7, the next can be on the host to create a virtual machine, online tutorial: https://jingyan.baidu.com/article/90808022f92fdcfd91c80faf.html, I was stained with the light of the predecessor, has been created, I directly clone mode can be.

8, the following is the problem of cloning is a need to pay attention to.

(1) Cloning when there is a step to choose the memory, such as, good memory capacity, load a host, will automatically load a memory, find the corresponding host memory, in fact, can not find also no problem, but remember that the memory must be found enough free space!!! Otherwise cannot create!!! It is also possible to migrate to the corresponding host after the creation is complete.

(2) to the client customization that step, directly do not customize the line. Then the basic is done.

A little incoherent is that, in fact, is to make a record, those links to more detailed steps, can be combined with my view, the problem arises, or prone to problems, so that people are not very clear where you can refer to my blog.
