4. Deploy and Configure a vCenter Server Appliance (Step by Step guide) 

Thanks Nick for taking time to do these special videos. I just want to let you know that once you create an account vmware account, you will have the opportunity to try it out the vCenter

Hey thankyou for your valuable time for helping us in understanding the areas in which i was weak. Got lot more to learn from you videos, Cheers Man!

BRO!!! Thank you so much for the easy to follow and understand guide. I was able to follow step-by-step and get things working perfectly. I'm using vCenter 7.0.3 though and it makes things a bit easier

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make this

You have an amazing accent 😄

Love for that brother much appreciated

thanks so much. it is greate and really helpfull.

Nick, I just found your videos, Where have you been all my life!!!! Your videos are excellent.... thank you.. I have a question about the VCenter. It appears that VCenter can either be installed on a blank drive or installed on top of windows computer / server? Is one better than the other? The reason I ask, I have a failed VCenter server that won't boot to Windows 2008. This Windows 2008 Server is on a separate piece of hardware (not virtual) and supports 3-4 hosts with multiple VMs on them. I am going to have to rebuild this server and wanted to know if I should install windows server and put VCenter on top (which appears to be what was done initially) or just format the drive and install VCenter from scratch? Keep these videos coming you are a great help to those of us trying to keep up with all this technology! TFI

Thank you NIck, very interesting info!. i wonder if you need VCenter for a small site or what its advantages are but we'll find out or let me know.

Thanks bro you solve my problem finally.

Thanks very much it is a good video lecture

Good effort. Thanks for trying.

Nice discussion. Please upload VSphere 7.0 or 6.7 if possible

Great video but what about cluster? this all the vcenter is all about

thanks!

Thank you

Nice. I only wish I had environment to test settings somewhere myself. Apparently, there is no simulation program for this and we can't make testing environment at home without paying high price for software. I downloaded 2 month trial but it expired so fast before I even had a chance to test them. :(

What's your VMWare workstation Network's config? i have a problem trying to connect with the Guest VM from other guest VM and i have "Bridge network settings" on ESXi please help!

Excellent explanation! Thank you for making this video, i need your help. i am struggling to install vCenter Appliance 6.5 in my home lab environment and setup is getting stuck on 80% (installing RPM this may take several minutes...). plz plz help me on this to short-out this issue.

how/where do you find IP/Gateway/DNS server? Also, how on earth do you get to that URL for esxi server to login?

Hello Nick. Thanks for the tutorial. If honestly, I confused myself. Where did you install Your Domain Controller? and why did you need it here? The reason why I decided to use the VMware is I have only one device and cannot use Domain controller and Terminal server together on this device. As I understood, after installing VMWare, I should install Domain controller on this VMWare, am I right? You did not show it. That is why I am a bit confused. Thanks beforehand. Regard.

Can u please tell me about the compatiabilty of esxi versions and vcenter versions and build numbers? I would really appreciate.

hi , I'm new to VMware , I'm purchasing a dedicated server and i prefer using ESXi for virtualization and making VPS on it, is it necessary to use vcenter ? or it's just in case for more than one Host? and i can skip it if im using only one ESXi Host?

I keep having problems with this step. My vCenter Appliance Server fails at 'Installing RPM' and when I always check the VM, it's not assigning itself a hostname (staying localhost) and it's not taking the IP address I've assigned. It's acting like it cannot assign itself a IP or Hostname. Thing is, it's not the first VM I've installed on this ESXi machine. So why is it doing this? As well, it's acting like it didn't get assigned a Password, and is making me reinstall a password.

HI there i need to get a hold of 6.5 esxi and Vcenter 6.5 so i can set them up on the raspberrry pi. I cannot get it from the vmware site. Any help would be greatly appreciated

hi, can you help me I was hoping to learn VM ware from scratch please

The VCSA is always downloadable from the VMware site. Don't need to attend a course!

I would love a download file

how to create change request. what time and how. and how to rise the ticket and create. how to assign and assign to me. please explain this all are one time in vmware end. you already done this all. please share the link to me. please

vmware vCenter server 6.7 key available

Version 7 is so different

You're not talking about 1 obvious requirement that's part of this demo....the domain. Prior to installing vCenter Server did you ... Register this domain you're using? Setup domain controller? Point name servers to your public IP address? Setup DNS server and records? Install security certificates? vCenter Server requires a FQDN, so what steps are required to do everything you're showing? How will attempting to use a .local domain impact the installation?
