Getting Started with ESX
Get started with ESX quickly with information about installation and initial setup. The procedures show you
how to install and set up a basic inventory for a single-host virtualization environment. After your host is set
up with a working virtual machine, you can install vCenter Server and explore a multiple-host virtualization
environment.
This information is for experienced Windows or Linux system administrators who will be installing VMware
ESX to deploy virtualization for the first time. Specifically, it is for users who meet the following requirements:
n Do not yet have the ESX software installed
n Do not yet have the vSphere Client or VMware vCenter Server installed.
Getting Started Tasks
The getting started tasks take you from initial setup of a new virtualization host to a working virtual machine.
After you have a host and functional virtual machine, you can setup a managed host environment with
vCenter Server.
Getting started with ESX includes the following tasks:
n Installing ESX and adding the host to your network
n Installing the vSphere Client and connecting to the ESX host
n Deploying and running a virtual machine
Completing the getting started tasks sets up the single-host management system for virtualization as shown
in Figure 1 .
Figure 1. Basic Single-Host Management System
After the initial setup of ESX, you can deploy vSphere with vCenter Server to manage multiple hosts.
