Hi Aqueelap, what host do you have and what motherboard. If it's a well know brand such as dell, you would look for the manual for that model and it will show you how to upgrade the ram. If it's a non well-known brand, then you would look for the manual for the motherboard and in there it should have instructions to upgrade the ram.
hi , help me please , i have one physical server and i install VMware esxi 6.7 and mount a lots of VM, but i dont serach how enable copy/paste between machines :( , i add the command lines : isolation.tools.copy.disable FALSE - isolation.tools.paste.disable FALSE , but dont works. help please ! have a great day
Hi Imad, same thing, install is easy, just boot from the iso image (either burn a dvd and boot via the cd/dvd drive, mount the iso to out of band management kvm, or you can even boot over network). Once the OS installer launches you can follow the same steps.
Hi. I have a question. Where to set up an IP for virtual machine (in your case win2016) that I can access from local network? Or if I have installed some VM with certain IP, where to change it? Thanks.
Hi Sinisa, you can setup the IP address for your Windows virtual machine, the same way you would set it up if it was a physical machine, within the TCP/IP properties. Then, depending if you have your ESXi networking correct, you will be able to reach your VM via your local network. Also make sure you have VM tools installed within the VM.
Thanks for this tutorial. I am trying to know if ESXI 6.0 would be able to join a VCenter Appliance 6.7... I see you EXSI 6.7 configuration it's all relatively the same on my 6.0 but I am getting errors when I try to add the host the only difference is my ESXI is 6.0 yours is 6.7. It keeps saying: Cannot contact the specified host (host.mydomain.local or IP). The host may not be available on the network, a network configuration problem may exist, or the management services on this host may not be responding.
Hi PI CPC, I checked the VMware compatibility matrix for you and ESXi 6.0 is compatible with vCenter 6.7, you can see on the table here: www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php#interop&2=3457&1= Have you tried to log into the VCSA shell and ping your ESXi host by IP and by DNS ?
OMG!!!.. I know this was an older video, but I have to say, I have learned so much!!! THANK YOU!!!! am just getting into VMware, and you taught me so much!!! I AM A FAN!!!!
yes later you will install an active directory windows server as a VM within the ESXi host. This server will provide DNS forward and reverse lookup for your vCenter server
I have to do a retake at the beginning of this video. the esxi 6.7 is installed on "nested" VM? what is the purpose of this? if you have a physical server, the same procedure apply?
Hi Sam, I use a nested setup because I don't have enough physical hosts. But, yes the same principals apply when you install ESXi 6.7 on Physical. Just make sure you check your hardware compatibility for use with 6.7 especially if it is for production
Your videos are so helpful and easy to listen to. Would you please do a series of a full build out of a vmware environment ??? I understand I am asking a lot but I feel it would be really helpful to so many if produced by you
Hi there, thanks for the great feedback and happy to hear that it helped you. Yes I'm going to do a full series of video from start to finish. Firstly thanks for subscribing, you will get a notification once they are ready.
Question: you selected VMware exsi while selecting the guest OS, was it pre loaded to your datacenter or a specific folder? If yes can you share that, it will simplify the process.
I thank you so much for the time you spend on this video. You are such a great help. This new video helped me a great deal setting up the new ESXi Host. THANKS!!!
Hi Eddieg, thank you for the feedback, glad this video was able to help you out. Be sure to check out my vcenter 6.7 video next to learn how to manage ESXi 6.7
I have a client that is currently on esxi 6.0 and I need to get to esxi 6.7. I was researching the upgrade process and it was warning about things to make sure are done before upgrading. Do I need to upgrade vsphere first and then upgrade the hosts? I don't want my client to lose their VM's and I'm a bit nervous. Any help you could throw my way I would appreciate. Cheers.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this valuable information in such concise and straight-forward manner. I appreciate the amount of work and effort that went into making this. This is better than VMware's own videos and NetLab's content.
Thanks Amos, I was also in the same boat as you, I've read endless amounts of documents from various vendors, some are straight forward and others require you to kind of work it out yourself. In saying that, most of my videos and blog articles are created from my experience, what worked and what didn't work, while trying to put it into a straight forward format for everyone to understand. Glad you're liking the content :)
Best to read up on Persistent Memory in VMware Docs - docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-93E5390A-8FCF-4CE1-8927-9FC36E889D00.html
Thanks Trevor. What kind of client access do you mean ? i.e. RDP, file shares, etc ? If the virtual machine is on a routable or layer 2 network that is accessible via the client's LAN then the client will be able to RDP or browse file shares of the VM. From an admin perspective, you can either browse the console of the VM by first browsing to the webui of ESXi and then launching the console on VM, or RDP for Windows, or SSH for Linux type machines.
This is very cool explanation. You deserve award!!!
Thank you Ernest :)
Thank you for sharing this inforamtion brother!
This was very helpful. Excellent explanation. Thank you !
Thanks for the nice comment, glad you enjoyed it
I was expecting how to install Vsphere this fellow has done nothing with Vsphere
Hi Shaik, ESXi is part of vSphere
Bit of a newbie on this and have a query on how to upgrade the ram of the esxi host?
Hi Aqueelap, what host do you have and what motherboard. If it's a well know brand such as dell, you would look for the manual for that model and it will show you how to upgrade the ram.

You are working on localhost that's easy but What about if you installed VMware ESXi 6.7 on Dedicated server ? what will you do then ?
Hi Imad, same thing, install is easy, just boot from the iso image (either burn a dvd and boot via the cd/dvd drive, mount the iso to out of band management kvm, or you can even boot over network). Once the OS installer launches you can follow the same steps.

Did i need later an Windows Server DHCP, DNS, AD or kann i manage the vCenter in vsphere i have Problems with the FQDN by Vcenter installation.
yes later you will install an active directory windows server as a VM within the ESXi host. This server will provide DNS forward and reverse lookup for your vCenter server
Nice video! Thanks for sharing your tutorial.
Hi Marco, you're welcome :)
can we use these host OS installed in ESXI 6.7 access Remotely at any location via public ip or Nat
Hi Prashant, are you talking about accessing the esxi host remotely or the virtual machines within esxi ?
I have to do a retake at the beginning of this video. the esxi 6.7 is installed on "nested" VM? what is the purpose of this? if you have a physical server, the same procedure apply?
Hi Sam, I use a nested setup because I don't have enough physical hosts. But, yes the same principals apply when you install ESXi 6.7 on Physical. Just make sure you check your hardware compatibility for use with 6.7 especially if it is for production
Hello, can I have installed WIN10 and VMware ESXi 6.7 on my laptop as dual OS?
Sorry Danny I'm not sure, I haven't tried it before.

Can you please show us how to create the datastore and the virtual switch?
Hi Zuzikubob, do you mean an iscsi or nfs datastore ? And for the switch do you need info on standard switch or vds ?
Question: you selected VMware exsi while selecting the guest OS, was it pre loaded to your datacenter or a specific folder? If yes can you share that, it will simplify the process.
Hi Prathamesh, it's included with ESXi for when you want to run nested, like in this demo. This option is available out of the box
Thankyou , this is very helpful. Please add more of these. Appreciate the way it is presented.
Does any tool like this have a flow chat based for the way the networking works. Like a virtual router and such? I think red hat has tha
Hi Clo, sorry I don't understand the question ? If your talking virtual routers, you need VMware NSX, ESXi won't have virtual routers out of the box.

I heard openneubula or some software like that does.

Are all your hosts VM's in that vSphere view? Or are they actual physical hosts?
Hi, I only have 4 hosts which run ESXi 6.7, that is my main build. All the other ESXi hosts are nested
Very Informative. Thanks
Thank you Sambunath

Hi Jorge, you're welcome
Thank you great video
Hi Javaid, thanks for the great feedback :)
4:50 Evaluation mode for 60 days means what? I thought the free version would run for free forever. Our current 5.1 does.
Hi Jack, you can register for a free license on the VMware site my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6
Good demonstration and explanation there..
Hey Roscoe, thank you for the feedback
So you made an ESXi inside another ESXi ?
Hi there, yes you are correct, nested ESXi
Perfect. No Extra blah blah blah :) Just sysadmin stuff. Thanks.
Thank you Khenikandza
Can you explain persistent memory in vmware esxi 6.7?
Best to read up on Persistent Memory in VMware Docs - docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-93E5390A-8FCF-4CE1-8927-9FC36E889D00.html
Great videos. How do clients connect to the virtual machines that was created over the network !
Thanks Trevor. What kind of client access do you mean ? i.e. RDP, file shares, etc ? If the virtual machine is on a routable or layer 2 network that is accessible via the client's LAN then the client will be able to RDP or browse file shares of the VM. From an admin perspective, you can either browse the console of the VM by first browsing to the webui of ESXi and then launching the console on VM, or RDP for Windows, or SSH for Linux type machines.
one question, is there a free version to use,
Hi Mr 0x01, you can download esxi from here my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6
Thanks - I'm enjoying following along the tutorials.
Hi John, thank you for the kind words :)
super good u should do full VM Ware Tutorial Beginner to Pro
Thank you Jagan, I'm planning to do exactly that, i'm working as fast as I can to get more content out for everyone so stay tuned :)
Thank you so Much I have a job trial tomorrow using VMware this will help alot, are your from AUS or NZ
Awesome thank you, good luck in your job trial. From Australia :)
