Installing vSphere 6.5

Installing VMware vCenter Server 6.5

Hello guys!!

In this post I'm going to show you how to deploy VMware vCenter Server 6.5.

Before to start We need to know the methods to Deploy:

• First Method

          vCenter Server with Embedded Platform Service Controller

          In this case the platform service controller is co-installed with the vCenter Server.           

• Second Method (I reccomend this option for Production Environments)

           vCenter Server with External Platform Service Controller

           

           In this case the platform service controller is a virtual machine diferent to the vcenter server                virtual machine.

           

In this case I'm going to Deploy the First Method.......

First you need this requirements:

• 1 IP for vCenter Server (Include PSC)
• 1 dns record in Microsof AD.
• 1 ESXI host.
