VMware NSX is the SDDC technology of the future. What ESX was once for Servers, NSX is now for Networks. I highly encourage everyone to make yourselves familiar with. The installation or deployment of vCenter server Linux appliance. How to Install VMware VCSA 6. Follow those steps. Much easier than in previous release. How to deploy the v. Center Server Appliance VCSA 6. VMware Fusion WorkstationAs with any new release of v. Sphere, it is quite common for customers to deploy the new software in either a v. Sphere home or test lab to get more familiar with it. Although not everyone has access to a v. Sphere lab environment, the next best thing is to leverage either VMware Fusion or Workstation. With the upcoming release of v. Sphere 6. 5, this is no different. Counter Strike Ubuntu Torrent. In fact, during the v. Sphere Beta program, this was something that was asked about by several customers and something I had helped document as the process has changed from previous releases of the VCSA. In v. Sphere 6. 5, the VCSA deployment has changed from a Single monolithic stage where a user enters all of their information up front and the installer goes and deploys the VCSA OVA and then applies the configurations. If you had fat finger say a DNS entry or wanted to change the IP Address before applying the actual application configurations, it would not be possible and you would have to re deploy which was not an ideal user experience. In v. Sphere 6. 5, the new UI installer will still allow you to perform a Single monolithic stage but it is now broken down into two distinct stages as shown below with their respective screenshots Stage 1 Initial OVA deployment which includes basic networking. Stage 2  Applying VCSA specific personality configuration. Just like in prior releases of the VCSA, the UI translates the user input into specific OVF properties which are then passed into the VCSA guest for configuration. This means that if you wish to deploy VCSA 6. Fusion or Workstation, you will have two options to select from. You either deploy VCSA and complete both Stage 1 and 2 or just Stage 1 only. If you select the latter option, to complete the actual deployment, you will need to open a web browser to the VAMI UI https VCSA IP 5. VCSA using the Setup v. Center Server Appliance option as shown in the screenshot below. If your goal is to quickly get the VCSA 6. Option 1 Stage 1 2 Config is the way to go. If your goal is to learn about the new VCSA UI Installer, then you can at least get a taste of that by going with Option 2 Stage 1 Config and this way you can step through Stage 2 using the native UI installer. One last thing I would like to mention is that there have been a number of new services added to the VCSA 6. One example is that v. Sphere Update Manager VUM is now embedded in the VCSA and it is also enabled by default. With these new services, the tiniest deployment size is going to require 1. GB of memory where as before it was 8. GB. This is something to be aware of and ensure that you have adequate resources before attempting to deploy the VCSA or else you may see some unexpected failures while the system is being configured. Note If you have access to fast SSDs and would like to overcommit memory in Fusion or Workstation, you might be able to get this to work leveraging some tricks mentioned here. This is not something I have personally tested, so YMMV. Here are the steps to deploy VCSA 6. VMware Fusion or Workstation Step 0 Optional Familiarize yourself with setting up VCSA 6. FusionWorkstation with this blog post which will be helpful for additional context. Step 1 Download extract the VCSA 6. ISOStep 2  Import the VCSA OVA which will be located in vcsaVMware v. Center Server Appliance 6. XXXXXXOVF1. 0. ova using either VMware Fusion or Workstation you can either double click or just go to File Open but make sure you do NOT power it on after deployment. Step 4 Locate the directory in which the VCSA was deployed to and open up the VMX file and append one of the following options make sure to change the IP information and passwords based on your environment Option 1 Stage 1 2 Configuration guestinfo. VMware. 1guestinfo. Trueguestinfo. cis. Trueguestinfo. cis. VMware. 1guestinfo. Ghettoguestinfo. FalseOption 2 Stage 1 Only Configuration guestinfo. VMware. 1guestinfo. Trueguestinfo. cis. Falseguestinfo. cis. FalseStep 5  Once you have saved your changes, go ahead and power on the VCSA. At this point, the guestinfo properties that you just added will be read in by VMware Tools as the VCSA is booting up and the configuration will begin. Depending on the speed of your hardware, this can potentially take up to 1. I have seen it. Please be patient with the process.
