B.3.1
VMware ESXi download and installation
Install VMware ESXi 6.7 U1 or later, on each PowerEdge server. Dell EMC recommends using the latest Dell
EMC customized ESXi .iso image available on support.dell.com. The correct drivers for the PowerEdge
server hardware are built into this image. This image is used to install ESXi via CD/DVD, a USB flash drive, or
by mounting the .iso image through the PowerEdge server's iDRAC interface.
Each ESXi host has one 1GbE BASE-T interface connected to the OOB management network for
communication with the vCenter Server.
B.3.2
Install and configure VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U1
For information on the installation and configuration of vCenter Server, refer to
Setup. In this deployment, the vCenter Server is located on a separate host within the data center.
B.3.3
Add ESXi hosts to vCenter Server
The vSphere Web Client is a service running on vCenter Server. In the vSphere Web Client, a data center
object named Datacenter is created for this deployment, and the two ESXi hosts are added to it.
A cluster named Management is created and added to the datacenter object, and the four R740xd hosts are
added to the cluster. When complete, the vSphere Web Client Hosts and Clusters tab in the Navigator pane
appears as shown in Figure 16.
