Once you have VMware ESXi installed on the server, you must add your ESXi license key through the web interface.

#VSPHERE VCENTER DOWNLOAD UPGRADE#
The upgrade tab basically has you to download and deploy the next version of the vCenter Appliance and then create a trust between the new and the old appliances.

Not to be confused with the update tab, there is also an upgrade tab which is a little different. I did run into an error after clicking on Status however, I simply rebooted the VM and everything started working properly. No matter which method you prefer, all you need to do is go under the Status tab of the Update tab and click on Check Updates then apply them if they’re available. You can also specify if you’d like to use the default repository through VMware, a CD-ROM (using the ISO download available from VMware) or your own repository (using the ZIP download available from VMware). You can have it automatically update or do it on a schedule. It’s possible to have the appliance automatically update itself as well by clicking on the update tab and configuring the settings shown in Figure A. Under the authentication tab you can configure directory settings, such as connecting the appliance to Active Directory. Under the storage tab you can enable and configure NFS settings. Under the settings tab you can configure your inventory size and which ports are used for various services. There are some more settings on the management URL interface you should be aware of, though. You should be able to pull up your vSphere client and connect to it as you would with the regular vCenter server and then add hosts, configure networking and storage, etc. That’s all that needs to be done to get it running. Click on Start vCenter and after a minute or two the Service Status should change to running.The embedded database for 5.0u1 is a PostgreSQL database and realistically shouldn’t be managing more than 5 hosts and/or 50 VMs. Click on the Database tab and select Embedded.

Download the OVF file and the 2 VMDK files from and put them all in one folder.In this post I’ll be going through the steps to download, install, and configure the latest vCenter appliance available. Be aware the appliance does still require a VMware license. Although, there are a few things you aren’t able to do with the Appliance (ex: VMware Site Recovery manager), this is a pretty good option for smaller shops. VMware now has a vCenter Appliance that can be downloaded and installed pretty easily. Historically the VMware vCenter server has required a Windows Operating System under it, which of course means you have to purchase yet another Windows license.
