In this third and final part of my VMware series, I go over all of the basics of getting the VMware vCenter 6.5 Server Appliance up and running. Everything that I show in the video can be done with the evaluation version of vCenter, which gives you up to 2 months of time to play around and test.
Here is a quick run down of everything covered:
- Mounting the vCenter VCSA ISO on Windows 10
- Deploying the appliance
- Configuring the appliance
- Accessing the vCenter vSphere Web and HTML5 Clients
- Accessing the vCenter Appliance Management console
- Adding ESXi hosts into vCenter’s inventory
- Migrating a Virtual Machine
- Cloning a Virtual Machine
