Hi All,

In this post i am going to take you through the steps in installing and configuring the ESX host once the installation is completed I will show you how to add it to the vCenter Server.

for the purpose of the post i have done a nested ESX installation ( which is ESX running on a VM) below you will see a quick YouTube video on the installation. dont for get to subscribe to my YouTube channel as stay tuned for new videos.

I have also taken screenshots on for the installation process. I know sometime its quick to follow the screenshots as appose to going through the video.

Mount the ISO by browsing to the ISO or Mount it from the Datastore
Once the Installation is loaded Press Enter to Continue
Press F11 to Accept and Continue
Select the location to install the ESXi, i am installing on local disk press Enter to Continue
Select the Keyboard layout and press Enter to Continue
Press F11 to install

At this point the installation starts and you will the progress of the installation.

Once the installation is complete press Enter to Reboot.

Thats all you can now press F2 to login to the esx using the password you have set.

You will need to setup the Network configuration to static then add it to the vCenter. If you dont have a vCenter you can deploy one on this ESX server as this is the first one.

I will be posting about how to installing vCetner server in the coming days. however if you have got a vCetner installed this is how you can quickly add the new build host to the vCenter Server.

Login to the vCenter and right click on the Cluster or the datacenter then click on Add Host

select Add Host
give the host name in my example the ip address 192.168.1.207 and click Next
give the user name root and password and click Next
You will see a pop up window for Security Alert for certificate click Yes to accept it.
Click Next
Select the Eval licence and click Next
leave the default setting and click Next
read the summary page and click Finish

After a few seconds you will see the vSphere ESX host appering in the cluster. you can put it on Maintenance Mode if you want to do further configuration on the Host.

Hope you enjoyed by post feel free to command and let me know if you have any questions. I will love to hear back from my users.
