How To create Virtual Machine Using Vsphere Client

To install virtual machines using vsphere , Following components should be installed.

• ESXI server
• Vcenter and Vsphere Client
• For Single Sign on Authentication : AD and DNS

Follow the Below Steps to install virtual machine using vsphere Client , In My Case I have installed  Vcenter and vsphere on the Same Machine, also Vcenter & Vpshere are part of esxi domain.

 

Step:1  Login the Vspher client using either using root credentials or AD Credentials. Vpshere client will connect to Vcenter Server ,and  Vcenter server will connect to ESXI Server.

Define Your Data center  Name , Under Data Center Name We will virtual Machines.

From the vSphere client menu, select File -> New -> Virtual Machine, which will launch the create new virtual machine wizard as shown below. Choose “Typical” for the configuration.

Step:2  Define the Virtual Machine Name

Step:3 Specify the Data Store , As vSphere client will display all the datastore available in the ESXi server.  In our case we are  using the default “datastore1”

Step: 4  Specify the Operating system for the Virtual Machine , as shown below

Step: 5 Define the Networking for the Virtual Machine .

Step: 6 Specify the Disk Space for VM

Step: 7 VM is ready to install and can view summary as shown below

Step: 8 As of Now we have not attached the iso file of OS , for this we have to upload the iso to the datastore1.

Got To  datastore1 ---> create a folder ISO ---> Create a Sub folder Centos , Then Upload the iso , as shown below :



Step:9  Now Edit the VM settings , attach the iso file and boot the Virtual machine with this iso file. After OS installation remove the iso , and boot the Virtual machine using HDD.
