Installing VMware vCenter Server 5.1 using the Simple Install method KB 2032885

Показать описание

In particular, this video tutorial shows how to perform a basic installation of the vCenter Single Sign On, Inventory Service, and vCenter Server components on a single host machine using the vCenter Server Simple Install option.

Before installing vCenter Server 5.1, vSphere 5.1 requires you to install vCenter Single Sign On and install the Inventory Service. You can install vCenter Single Sign On, Inventory Service, and vCenter Server all on a single host machine using the vCenter Server Simple Install option. This option is appropriate for small deployments.

Note: Installation sequences are shortened in the video for the sake of time. In reality, installations will take a little bit longer to complete.

Note: For best viewing results, ensure that the 720p HD option is selected and view in full screen mode.

Hmmm, there are steps on my 5.1 install for SSO that are not in the video.

can you please put a upgrade video for upgrade of Vcenter 5.0 to 5.1 Appliance and not windows, as it is confusing due to SSO and new database of PostGreSQL

We do have instructions for that process available in KB article 2033990 ( kb.vmware.com/kb/2033990 ). It does not have a video yet, but it should certainly provide some insight for you. I will add this to my "to do" list and create a video for it as soon as I can.

"Simple Install" with having to edit scripts by hand to specify where the single sign on database will be installed (nobody uses sql express in prod environments i hope) is just dumb and something you have to fix. I'm waiting for the next version when this hopefully will be "simple" or at least "simpler"...
