Mastering vSphere 7: A Masterclass on Installing and Configuring ESXi 7

Get ready to buckle up and learn how to install and configure VMware ESXi 7 with this fun and easy to follow guide!

We start by installing VMware ESXi 7.0 using the standard graphical user interface (GUI) menus. During this process, we input the necessary information to get ESXi up and running, then log into the ESXi web user interface (UI) to configure settings such as NTP, SSH, vSwitches, and VMKernel network interfaces.

In the second part of the video, we demonstrate how to automate the entire process from step 1 for faster deployment. This is especially useful when you need to set up multiple ESXi hosts with similar configurations. Don't worry if you have no experience with scripting, as the entire process will be done for you. By the end of the video, you'll be able to use the provided script to build your own ESXi lab or production environment.

PXE boot would be great for this, so new systems auto install. once installed, PXE is 2nd or later boot option

Great Video! I wonder if it is possible to have video for setting up vSan 2 nodes cluster?

[wcmedic]

Awesome! I love your videos.. could you do a vCenter server howto?

[scottsanford]

Hey, I just started learning ESXi and was hoping to create a lab. The only thing is I only have a temp computer and will need to install ESXi on my personal computer. Is there anyway I can access guest operating systems from the physical machine? Basically I would have win10 and server 2016 vm's and switch between them.

Great videos! Wondered if someone can help me, even though I followed the DC server setup, created records for the ESXi too, the ping with -a resolves the IP to the name only when I do it from the DC. When I ping from the host laptop, it only pings the ESXi by the IP address. And the DC server pings as it should from the host laptop, by IP and name.

2 issues: how can i generate my kickstart file?
I struggled with the installation of vSphre server. It wont just install. I made the iso file bootable and active the EFI option on boot strap. I resulted to using VMWare for the ESXi server. What am I doing worng?

[makhdoomsiraj]

What other options I have if I don't want to use HTTP File Server from HFS to install ESXi/VCSA 7?

[MrKythuat]

Thank you for your video. Could you please add on how to install, config VMWare with SAN example SAN DELL EMC :) :)

[elchinefa]

Hi. I'm new in VMWare that is why want to clear some pints for me. 1)Where did you install VMWare center? I watched another youtube channal there mentr installed first EXSi6 then on it he installed Vcenter. 2)why do u install ESXI 7.0 on Vcenter? 3) is it true if wehave more than one Host then we need Vcenter?

[Daniel-qouv]

Hello, your video is nice and helpful. I can't download VMware ESXi 7.0 from the VMware website they tell me to log in to download but I'm already login. Could you please give me a downloadable link for VMware ESXi 7.0 Thank you

[varadtravels]

I am new to VMWare world. What is ESXi & VSphere are both same & used interchangably? I heard esxi is free to use.

[robertettinger]

How do you handle kicking off multiple esxi installs with only a single IP defined in the kick start file?

[yogeshn]

is it possible to install vcenter in nested esxi if possible what is prerequisties.
