These are Awesome…! Thank you so much…
Glad you like them!
Very nice! Any hints on how to export the config and reimport on a new installation?
I’m not sure I understand your context. You should have one vcenter in your environment that controls multiple hosts. You can move the vcenter some one host to another or simply create a new one and connect the existing hosts. I’m assuming you’re not running a datacenter with tons of hosts.
Thanks'
Do you download the ISO file to a VM that you then install vCenter 8 onto? Or does it get installed onto a physical host within the network?
As per the video, open the ISO on your PC and run the installer. It will connected to the ESXi host and install the VM automatically. You don’t load this ISO into ESXi directly to run it.
@@BobPellerin Got it thanks for the response I appreciate it!
Hi Bob. I am preparing a brand new infra with 6 Srvs Hybrid vSAN, in the case of the absence of a Domain controller, hence a DNS server, which I am going to configure afterwards on this very new infra.. My dilemma is that, Could I install vcenter server on one of the nodes of the vsan cluster, and do I have to do the same trick for the dns server even in the case of production environment?
Hey, where did u get the ISO? It's being so hard to get it since Broadcom bought vMware..
I have a subscription with access to iso.
Hello, I have installed and configured vcsa successfully. But so far I am not able to access VCSA using the browser. I have tried on the domain-joined machine, and I have updated the "hosts" file in the system as well. Still, I am not able to access it. Please if you can guide me on this issue.
Unfortunately diagnosing issues over UA-cam chat isn't going to work. I would recommend you find a local consulate with the skillset to take a look. I would start with going to see what you have on the screen of the VCSA. There should be a link there to follow. Perhaps you have the wrong IP set or are using the wrong port. Also try using Firefox or Chrome. I had situations where one would work better. I haven't figured out why one works at one place and not at another. Definately saw that in the field though.
You can also reach out to Cobaltium.com where we offer consulting and security services.
A question on the host that is running the VCSA instance. If you have like vMotion active to migrate hosts from a failed hosts (i.e. ESXI) to another ESXI in a cluster, what manages that? If its vCenter what happens if the host that contains the VCSA instance? does it just fail and not migrate anything over?
The VCSA must be active to monitor the heartbeat of the hosts.

This did not age well xĐ
I unfortunately have to agree. I did enjoy making all those VMware videos though.
Have you encountered the “an error occured while starting service “vc-ws1a-broker” in stage 2? I have VCSA 8.02 so the update should have worked in my lab but have no progress
According to VMware:
The issue is resolved in the release vCenter Server 8.0 Update 2a Build 22617221
