More about the scope of this article: What am I going to do here?Īs it comes from the article title, today, I take a closer look at building a minimalistic environment.
I hope that both of them will be really handy for you! The next article addresses creating a lab using PC and VMware Workstation 15 Pro. In this part, I discuss how to build an ESXi environment using PC and ESXi 6.7 U1. I’ve divided this topic into 2 parts as I am unsure whether you guys like long-reads.
The article in which I share my know-how of building a minimalistic lab using… only a PC, switch, and laptop. Those thoughts brought me to the idea of writing this article. It was a bit tough, you know, as vSphere yet was a black box for me. If you have not updated the ESXi server with the license key, you might also get the following “VMware Evaluation Notice” warning message.While writing my previous article, I remembered the days when I was only building my first lab. But, you should register at vmware website to get a license key. Select the ‘Install this certificate and do not display any security warnings for ” check-box and click on ‘Ignore’. You might get a pop-up message about the security warning. Password: root password for the ESXi server.Login to vSphere ClientĪfter the installation, launch the vSphere client utility from your Windows host and provide the following information: Since you are installing vSphere client to manage the newly installed ESXi 4.0 server, you don’t need to select the ‘Install vSphere Host Update Utility’ check-box in the following screen. Launch the VMware-vicilent.exe and follow the instructions to complete the setup. The direct url to download vSphere client from your installation of VMware server is: your-vmware-server-ip}/client/VMware-viclient.exe If you don’t have vSphere client installed, download it from your local VMware Server home page. vSphere client works only on Windows host. If you have installed VMware ESXi server, you can manage the ESXi server using vSphere client.
