ESDL- Create a Guest OS on Bare Metal Hypervisor (Type- 1)

Dear All,

In my earlier blog we seen how to install VM workstation as well as how to configure VM on the same.

Now, we need to proceed, Type -2 installation is possible with VMware ESXi 5.5 or Windows 2008 or 2012 Sever with hyper-v enable.

We choose VMware ESXi 5.5 for our purpose.
Basic installation steps

1) If we shortage of resources like terminals then dont worry directly install the VMWare ESXi 5.5 on workstation itself, that will give same result as independent machine will provide.

2) In this installation you will get only yellow and black window. No GUI.

3) Important is configuration of an IP address, configure IP address as per the LAN address. 

4) To create VM on ESXi you need to install vCenter client on another terminal preferable is windows base OS.

On Next Machine.

1) same procedure directly download and install .exe of vCenter client from vmware.

2) give the IP address of ESXi with valid username and password.

3) It will install certificates. 

4) Inventory will open. 

Now, you are ready to install the new VM actually on ESXi but with the help of vCenter client.
