VMware ESXi Setup

The lab runs extremely well under ESXi; in my lab the basic vSphere cluster consumes a

peak of 4.5GB of RAM during build and about 40GB of disk space, although 220GB is

allocated. A higher performance disk system also reduces the lab build time as this is mainly

disk IOPS constrained.

The lab will usually use a portgroup on an Internal Only Standard vSwitch, i.e. one with no

physical NICs attached. The default portgroup name is Lab_Local and this portgroup must

be setup to allow Promiscuous mode and must be set to VLAN ID 4095. Your ESXi server

should also have a VMkernel port on this network, IP 192.168.199.99. This will allow access

to the Build share on the NAS VM.

The router VM also connects to your main network, the default configuration calls this

network External.

To enable the nested ESXi servers to run 64bit VMs your outer ESXi server needs to pass the

Intel VT or AMD V feature into the VMs. Open a command prompt on your ESXi server,

either through SSH or on the local console, and type the following command

Echo 'vhv.allow = "TRUE"' >> /etc/vmware/config

When you come to populate the build share and connect to the built VMs you will use the

Router VM to provide access into the lab network, as discussed in the accessing the lab

section.

Deploy on vSphere – vApp

If you have vCenter in your lab environment then you will be able to deploy the multi-VM

OVF. This requires either a DRS cluster or a standalone ESXi server, vApps cannot be

deployed to a cluster that has HA and not DRS.

Import the OVF, give the vApp a unique name and select the required datastore and

portgroups. The Lab_Local portgroup should map to the portgroup you created above and

the External portgroup should map to you normal production network from which you

access the vSphere environment. The router VM will consume one DHCP IP address from

the external network.
