Well explained. Simple and quick . Thank you very much

I used your guide to set up my first ESXi server, thanks 😊

[Subranna]

Worked perfect. A video on how to create Virtual machines on ESXi will be very useful.

[bjarkesoegaard]

Thank you for your content - Nice and quick but with all important details. 🙂

[syedabbas]

How do you know or realize which server to buy that is compatible with VMware 8? I was told that it will not work on older hardware? How old do they mean?

[shawnmcqueen]

can you install esxi 8 on a laptop without an ethernet connection then connect it to my wifi?

[christiansalvationist]

Hello Sir, i installed esxi today and when the server rebooted, it didn;t show the exsi interface, just the server interface

[sahmedroni]

i have installed Esxi 8 on my HPE ML350 gen10 server. but after installing the network ports r not working. it has 4 Gig ports in it. in port 1 i have assigned static IP, my networking is ok. if i check HPE iLO control panel it says Network ports are unknown. Can anyone help??

[JPEaglesandKatz]

A guide to use the fling driver driver and integrate it with vsphere 8 iso would be very helpful because as it stands the natively supported hardware list is extremely small

I need a help if i install ESXI on my Laptop how do i access the Web ? I don't have any more device

[xXnocturnumXx]

So...I built an ESXi 8 usb installer, and it boots and runs the installer....however...after 2 days of troubleshooting, I cannot get it to install to 2 different nvme drives. I can access the web gui and build the datastores, build VMs, etc, but after I reboot my mini PC it will not boot to any installation. If I copy the installer files to the nvme drive, it will run the installer upon boot and I am able to access the web gui again. It makes no sense. The installer never prompts me with the EULA or drive selection either, it just runs a full automation. I downloaded the iso from VMware too, so I know its unmodified. Any suggestions?

[MrShaka]

Would be great to do this but its impossible to download the packages for some reason- "Unable to process your request. Please try again later"

[ashoktvm]

Where to get the key.I was only able to download trial version

[HisLoveArmy]

How come it says trial? What happens after the "trial"?

[bmkay]

I obtained a license key but I'm unable to download after registering. Received error "Unable to process your request. Please try again later." I searched the error and saw some people had luck clearing cookies and using different browsers. I've done all that and still no luck. This is a widely known problem, with many people posting on it. If VMware's website is this bad, I hesitate to use their products.

[MrMarkgyuro]

really appreciate it thanks! sidenote: I tried to install and at scan devices intaller couldn't find my SK hynix SSD so I needed to attach to my laptop (dell latitude) an external drive : )

Are there websites that sell cheaper affordable license keys for vmware Esxi suite?

[danijeljovanovic]

Hi. Thanks for your content about VMware. It is helpful for beginners but not for power Users. It should be explained that the free license has limitations. 8 Cores per VM and etc. also some services are not available in free license, for example Veeam Backup and Replication cann't backup the Host if you have a free license. For test purposes it is probably OK but for productive environment it is not recommend. People should to have this very important Info's. Best Regards Danijel
