Because the test needs every it cock silk will need one or two test server, but not enough for a machine to install a system ah, so it is necessary to assemble a high-performance testing machine to do virtualization, let's say a DIY ESXi virtualization server (of course, this does not consider server security issues)!

First, the choice of hardware

Cpu:xeon e3-1200 V3 Series * 1 pcs (BULK)

Memory: Kingston DDR3 8G * 4

HDD: Kingston 120GB + 250G SSD

Motherboard: MSI Zh87-g43

Select them for the reason that the CPU performance is more reasonable than I7, memory must be no reason, SSD speed test must be saved for two years, the motherboard support RAID array and direct 6 SATA 3;

Second, ESXi system production

1) First need to download the following file ESXi operating system, system packaging tools, network card driver, because the ESXI5.5 itself does not support MSI Zh87-g43 onboard Realtek rtl8111e Gigabit Network card, you need to manually package the driver into the system;

2) Pack start, press the Pack tool right-click to run "Esxi-customizer.cmd" with administrator

3) According to the provision of the selection of ISO files, drivers, packaging after the ESXi system storage location;

4. Tap "Run" and click "OK" as prompted.

5) Here you can see the driver has been successfully packaged, the system packaging success;

6) through the Uitraliso tool to burn the system to the U disk Preparation system installation;

Third, ESXi system installation

The installation process is basically the same as the official original system, but the first interface is not the same, the others are the same it is not much to say;

Four, drive installation and open community-driven support

After the installation is complete, connect to the server side to see the network card to be able to recognize the normal, as shown in:

This thought that after the installation of the System network card is also normal recognition, there is no problem, but things are not so, not a few minutes, when I upload data to the server side, the system has a serious loss of packets, this is why?

It seems that only the driver is not possible, there is one thing did not do, open community-driven support, that is, non-official website-driven support;

#开启对于社区驱动的支持

Connect to the server side via SSH and execute the following command:

ESXCLI Software Acceptance Set--level=communitysupported

The return result is normal as shown below;

Host acceptance level changed to ' communitysupported '.

Let's test it again, Ping is OK;

Have this friend may ask, if I need to add a Realtek rtl8111e Gigabit network card on the original ESXi host, how should the driver be installed?

Install with a command, if you need to upload the driver files to the ESXI system;

#安装驱动

ESXCLI software vib install-v driver file

#查看设备是否能被识别

At this point the DIY ESXi virtualization server is completed, hoping to help the needy friends;
