Specific configuration steps:

1. Version selection: Create VMware ESXi virtual machines in VMware Workstation. On VMware Workstation 11, the version is selected as ' VMware vSphere beta '.

6, if the machine previously installed ESXi, or contains a previous ESXi version, will pop up "ESXi and Vmfs Found" interface, it is a hint that you can find an ESXi and VMFS data storage, select: ' Update this esxi, preserve the ESXi datastore ', ' Whether to install new ESXi, keep the data store ', ' or install new ESXi, overwrite the VMFS data store '.

Recommendation: The previous version is ESXi 5.X, optional 1th. Install the new ESXi, but keep the database, optional item 2nd. As an experimental environment, the 3rd option is optional.

8, in the "Enter a root password" interface, where you can set the administrator password (typically the default user is root), it is recommended to set a "complex" password.

Note: in VMware ESX 4, the password length is at least 6 bits, and in VMware ESXi 5, the password length is at least 7 bits.

9, if it is installed on the new server (including the initial hard disk installation), this time will be the "Confirm install" interface, and prompted the disk will be re-partitioned, and this disk data will be deleted.

11, such as VMware ESXi boot success, in the console interface, you can clearly see the server various information. The information shows the CPU model, host memory size, and management address of the VMware ESXi 6 running Server (management address 192.168.80.128 in the figure).

Note: in VMware ESXi 5 or 6, the default console management address is assigned via DHCP, such as if there is no DHCP in the network, or if DHCP does not have an address available, the address of the administration console may be 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x. This situation requires that the managed address in the console be set up and modified so that vsphere client management can be used.
