If there is only one ESXi server in the production environment, installing vclient client tools can meet the needs; if there are multiple ESXi servers in the production environment, you need to deploy the web client client.

VCenter server is the core of the physical infrastructure of vsphere and can centrally manage multiple ESXi servers.

Each vCenter server can manage up to 1000 ESXi hosts

Each vCenter server can manage up to 10000 enabled virtual machines.

Three major components that must be installed to install the vCenter service:

① Single Sign-On server

Can provide authentication, allow all components of vsphere to communicate with each other through secure token exchange mechanism, and improve security

② Vcenter inventory service (inventory service)

Store vcenter server application and manifest data

Cross-connected vcenter server can search and access manifest objects

③ Vsphere web client

Use a web browser to manage ESXi hosts through vcenter server

The newly added functions of Vsphere5.5 must be implemented through vsphere web client

Conditions to be met when deploying vCenter services

Software requirements:

The installation vcenter server5.5 consists of 4 components, namely vcenter single sign-on,vcenter inventory service,vsphere web vclient and vcenter server, which can be installed on a server or installed separately. Specific requirements:

 active Directory domain environment

 64-bit windows server 2008 sp2

 is equipped with microfolt.net framework3.5 sp1

 needs a database, which can be oracle or sql, and connect to its database using 64-bit system DSN

Hardware requirements

Vcenter requirements for all components installed together

 Cpu:x64 at least 2 cores, 2GHZ per core

 memory: 12GB

 disk: 100GB

The most important impact of Vcenter is memory size, memory depends on inventory size, how many virtual machines can be controlled by inventory size, small list (100 hosts or 1000 virtual machines) memory at least 1GB, medium list (400 hosts or 1000 virtual machines) at least 2GB, large list (more than 400 hosts or virtual machines more than 4000) memory at least 3GB

We started to deploy the vCenter service

Open the prepared database system, log in as domain administrator, click "SQL Server Services", change the login identity of all services to "domain administrator" and start, in which the startup mode of Report Server is changed to disable and disable

Next, create a database to store some configuration information for the vCenter service

Open the boot loader for the vCenter server 5.5installation CD.

Select "vCenter Single Sign-On" and click "install"

If there is no screenshot description, just keep the default! It takes a long time to install, wait patiently!

Next install Vcenter inventory service (inventory service)

Configuration inventory size (# mini list: 1 "100 hosts / 1" 1000 virtual machines, memory at least 1GB)

(medium list: 100,400 hosts / 1000,000 virtual machines, memory at least 2GB) (large list: more than 400 hosts / more than 4000 virtual machines, memory at least 3GB)

Next install vCenter server

If there is no screenshot description, just keep the default!

Next install Vsphere web client

The required components have been installed!

Next install vSphere Web vClient

(client software Web vClient requires installation of Adobe Flash Player 11.5 in browser hardware requirements: CPU2.0GHz, quad-core processor memory 2GB hard disk 2GB available space network gigabit network)

By default, the next step is available during installation (# there is an extra vCenter Single Sign-On verification)

Adobe Flash Player 11.5 links:

Open a browser in vClient (client), enter the https://vSphre Web vClient address: 9443, and click to continue to this website, this example https://192.168.10.1:9443

The downloaded plug-in is installed on the client (note that the windows of all browsers should be closed during installation), install and visit again

If multiple ESXi hosts repeat this step, they can be managed on this platform, just like vclinet management.

Assign a license key to all hosts, return to the Web vClient home page, click the system Administration-Select license-vCenter Server system or Host tab to assign a license key

Click assign New license key in the drop-down list box

Enter the license key and click decode

More operations have the opportunity to share together in the future!
