Bob Pellerin (CTOBOB) installs a VMware vSphere ESXi 8.0 on a Dell PowerEdge R640/R650.

This is a very basic overview of the newly announced festures. The installation is fast and easy using the custome ISO.

Very cool. Thanks for being the first and showing the steps. I'm currently in 7.0u3c and have ESXi on a small 80GB Intel enterprise ssd and it's using only a very small portion of the ssd. The rest is just a small datastore i use for storing various .iso for guest OS installations.

When i upgrade much later to v8u1 or u2 I'm thinking of installing onto a SataDOM to free up a drivebay, and because i think it would be interesting (never used satadom before).

I've recently completed setting up for creating guests with a vTPM in vcsa 7 by creating a native KMS in vcsa. I did that specifically so i can install win11 guests which requires aTPM. I don't have a physical TPM module on the esxi host motherboard.

Question for you, regarding physical TPM module...
Would you highly recommend a TPM even for home lab? They are meant for storing certificates, key pairs and credentials instead of on HDD or other storage, is that correct?

thank you, and thanks for the videos! 👍

So instead of using the USB/SD card, would you use the drives that come with the poweredge? Does iDRAC allow you to partition out the space?

I’m wondering should I run 8.0 or 7.0 for my R630. Thank you!

I'm attempting to boot to the Dell ISO acquired from the VMware downloads section. It is a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer Fit formatted FAT32 and the server will not boot to it from the one-time UEFI boot menu. Do I have a formatting issue?
