Why you have team in a virtual machine - no need it bro - this is only good in case you have a physicals server, Virtual machine does not have a physical cable, like you are explaining in here.

[saimachaudhry]

what you installed here can only have one Vcenter, you must explain pan of glass needs stand alone PCS installation and then you may point more than one vc. Very poor explanation.
