| Sysnetadmin – vSphere 6.5 Lab Structure |
In the previous article Introduction to VMWare vSphere 6.5, I’ve talked about new release of VMWare vSphere 6.5 and some of its new features. And from now, I am going to focus on the installation, configuration as well as managing vSphere 6.5 with hand-on lab. Below is the diagram of VMWare vSphere 6.5 structure which I will cover throughout the topics.
As shown above, my lab will be run on VMWare Workstation 12 and all servers for the lab will be created as virtual machines hosted by VMWare Workstation 12.
Suppose the Firewall, Active Directory and DNS servers are already done with configuration to provide service for this lab and I am only going to cover installing, configuring, managing VMWare vSphere ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance and Storage server in this whole lab.
The following is the table of VM Network Adapters and subnets that I will be using.
