But...but...vSphere 7 just came out yesterday....!!

[@sysadmintutorials]

haha I know feels like it :)

[@iansalgado8710]

Do you have a video for upgrade vcenter 7 to 8?

[@sysadmintutorials]

Hi Ian, not yet but I will definately be releasing one. Just returned from Christmas holidays and will start working on vCenter 8 install and configuration videos then upgrade videos.

[@blinkybill4062]

Given we only have this as the first system in the entire network where are the DNS servers you mention at 6:28 located on the ESXI system?

[@sysadmintutorials]

Hi Blinky, the DNS servers are windows VM's on the same network. But the VM's are in a different ESXi host

[@blinkybill4062]

@@sysadmintutorials Ok just wondering where they appear from is all. So how can you do it without having the others ESXI/DNS systems setup beforehand. And that means no other web based system to access the vSphere web GUI.

[@sysadmintutorials]

Hi Blinky, you would access this new ESXi 8 via IP. That will get you access into the webui, then have to go through and setup networking, datastores etc. At which point you can then start creating virtual machines.

[@blinkybill4062]

@@sysadmintutorials Ah. Thought so. I was hoping for a way to do it would having any other system connected that runs a browser is all.
