    VMware ESX Server 3.5 allows multiple virtual machines to run simultaneously on a single physical server, increasing hardware utilization. It requires a minimum of two CPUs, 1GB of RAM, an Ethernet card, and a SCSI, fiber channel, or RAID controller. To install ESX Server 3.5, insert the install disc, boot from it, and run through the graphical installer. Once installed, the VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client can be used to remotely manage and administer the ESX Server host.

    Agenda

    1. How does VMware ESX Server works?


    2. Server Hardware Requirements
    3. Installing ESX server 3.5
    4. Managing First ESX server host
    1. How does VMware ESX Server works?
    A single physical server can run several
    virtual machines simultaneously. Each
    virtual machine represents a complete
    system—with processors, memory,
    networking, storage and BIOS—so that
    Windows, Linux, Solaris and NetWare
    operating systems and software
    applications run in virtualized environment
    without any modification. Sharing the
    physical server resources among a
    number of virtual machines increases
    hardware utilization and dramatically
    decreases capital cost.
    Server Hardware requirements

    • Two CPUs
    • 1024 MB of RAM
    • At least one Ethernet card
    • SCSI, Fiber Channel, or RAID controller
    These are minimums.

    Maximum Requirements:
    • ESX 3.5 Server host Supports for up to 64 logical Processor.
    • ESX Server 3.5 supports 256GB of physical memory.
    Installing ESX server 3.5
    • VMware ESX server 3.5 License Product.
    • ESX Server 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5, you can install and run evaluation
    mode for 60 days.
    • ESX Server is built on a Linux kernel.

    Installation Steps:
    1. Insert the ESX Server 3.5 Installable CD into the CD drive
    Set the BIOS to boot from the CD. (Set the CD drive as the first boot device)
    and Reboot the server.
    The ESX boot loader screen will appear. Press the Enter key to continue.
    The following is a default GUI install of ESX.
    CD Media Test. Select Skip
    Welcome to the ESX Server 3.5 Installer. Click Next.
    Select keyboard language from the list and click Next.
    Select mouse from the list and click Next.
    End User License Agreement. Select I accept the terms of the license
    agreement. Click Next.
    Partitioning Options. Accept defaults or modify accordingly. Click Next.
    Warning - remove partitions. Click Yes.
    Partition Disks. Modify as required. And Click Next.
    Advanced Options. Click Next.
    Network Configuration. Enter the required network configuration information.
    and Click Next.
    Time Zone Selection. Configure time zone, UTC offset and location.
    Click Next.
    Account Configuration. Set root password. Click Next.
    Summary of installation settings. Click Next.
    Installing ESX 3.5. The Installation will proceed and may take a few minutes to
    complete.
    Once complete click Finish.
    ESX server will reboot and start to load.. Once the splash screen appears it
    may take a few minutes for ESX to complete loading.
    Check by pressing ALT-F1 - if you see a login then ESX has completed booting.
    Managing First ESX server host
    • VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI Client) to the ESX Server
    The absolute best way to remotely administer can
    Manage VMware ESX server by using Virtual
    Infrastructure (VI) Client. This is an installable client
    that provides you full access to administer on ESX
    server. This client can easily be downloaded and
    installed from the initial ESX Welcome screen,
    Below Screen will prompt you to Run or Save the VMware-viclient.exe installation
    program. Running it.
    1. The installation is simple and straightforward. When it is complete, you can run the
    VI Client from the desktop icon that was created.

    2. The VI Client log on window appears. Enter server name/IP, username, and password.
    3. Click Login. A security warning appears.

    4. To continue, click Ignore.

    Note: This security warning message


    occurs because the VI Client detected a
    certificate signed by the ESX 3.5 Server
    host itself (default setting). For highly
    secure environments, certificates generated
    by trusted third‐party are recommended.
    Here is what the VI Client looks like, once you login:
