VMware ESXi 6.7 was released on November 15, 2016. the installation process is described below. It is not much different from the previous ESXi product installation.

This installation process is demonstrated by using VMware Workstation 15 platform for installation. The specific steps are as follows:

VMware download address: link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1kkTGFQX6DyNGcwB2LjpKqA extraction code: hdtp

Create a virtual machine:

Memory: 4G

Processor: 4 cores

Hard disk: 200g

CD/DVD (IDE): this is the ISO downloaded above

Network adapters: custom network

Procedure:

1. Insert the ESXi installation disk on boot, select the first item, and enter

The installation steps after startup can be said to be the next step along the way, and people who know a little bit of English are sure to have no pressure (different versions of ESXi require at least 4 gigabytes of memory, but this verification can be bypassed. Tutorials are available online, and I won't repeat them here):

2. As shown in the picture, enter the ESXi Welcome screen and press enter to continue

3. In the installation license agreement interface, press F11 to continue

Waiting.

4. The system will automatically check the available storage devices, then select the installed disk location in this interface, and press enter to continue.

Note that ESXi will kill the whole hard drive.

5. Choose the US default keyboard.

6. Continue, enter the root password; note that the password is at least 7 digits. (password: 123.qwe)

7. After configuring all the information, come to the interface and press F11 to start the installation

8. After the installation is complete, enter in this interface to restart

After rebooting, the ESXi system and ESXi server full-text interface are already available on the hard disk of the computer, because in the real environment, we rarely need to operate on this server, and related operations, such as creating and managing virtual servers, can be done on the browser / vSphereClient. (after 6.5, officials began to recommend direct browser interface configuration.) However, before that, we need to configure the network of ESXi, and vSphere Client controls it through the network, so we must configure access to IP for ESXi in advance.

9. Enter the interface after reboot, press F2 key to pop up the login interface

10. Enter the root account number and password in the pop-up login interface, and enter to log in.

11. Select "Configure Management Network" (please select the network card NetworkAdapter first. If the driver is normal, you should be able to see multiple network cards. Plug and unplug the network cable to indicate which network card is connected to the network card, so you can distinguish the network card.)

The role of options:

Configure Password configure root password

Configure Management Network configuration Network

Restart Management Network restarts the network

Test Management Network uses ping to test the network

Network Restore Options restore configuration

Troubleshooting Options troubleshooting options

View System Logs View Syslog

Reset System Conf iguration ESXi factory settings

12. Enter and select IPV4 configuration to set the IP address

13. You can modify the IP address and press the up and down keys to move, select the space key, and enter after setting the IP address.

14. Press ESC to exit the network card configuration interface and press Y to save the configuration.

15. After the esxi installation is completed, plug in the network cable and set your computer to the same network segment as the ESXi server, and you can access the server in the browser through the IP address:

Note: don't forget to activate it after installation. At Host-> Administration-> license, ordinary free users can use up to 8 cores, which is generally enough.

16. Click manage-> license-> assign license after logging in.

License: VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus: 0A65P-00HD0-3Z5M1-M097M-22P7H

17. Click Storage-> data Storage browser, and upload the image file to facilitate the later creation of virtual machine installation system

18. Click Virtual Machine-> create / register a virtual machine to create a virtual machine

19. Select the creation type

20. Select the name and client operating system

21. Select Storage

22. Set the hardware configuration of the virtual machine according to your own needs

23. Check the system configuration

24. The virtual machine has been created successfully. Select the virtual machine and click to turn on the power to install the system.

The installation steps of the system are omitted
