I suppose that you have your DNS infrastructure in place and you have already configured static records for your VCSA (forward and reverse). If not it’s time to do that, before the deployment starts.
The deployment of VCSA is done by mounting an ISO! Yes. Once you mount the iso, in the root directory you’ll find a html file called index.html -:).
Mount the file “VMware_VCSA-all-6.0.0-xxxx.iso” to a Windows VM.
Access the Console of the Windows 7 VM and browse to the mounted ISO image.
Open the “vcsa” directory and execute the “VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.exe” file.
In the VMware Client Integration Plug-in Installer window, select “Next”.
Accept the licence agreement and select “Next”.
Leave the “Destination Folder” as default and press “Next”.
In the “Ready to Install Plug-in” window, press “Install”.
In the “Installation complete” window, press “Finish”.
2. Install VCSA to a remote ESXi host
Access the Console of the Windows VM and browse to the mounted ISO image.
Double click on the “index.html” file.
Select “Yes” to the Internet Explorer “Active content” message.
Select “Allow” to the Client Integration Access Control message.
In the vCenter Server Appliance page, press the “Install” button.
In the “VMware vCenter Server Appliance Deployment” window, accept the EULA and press “Next”.
In the “Connect to target server” window, enter the FQDN or IP Address of the ESXi host, the root credentials and press “Next”.
Press “OK” to the Certificate Warning.
In the “Set up virtual machine” window, enter the Appliance name of the ESXi host, set the OS root credentials and press “Next”.
In the “Select deployment type” window, select “Embedded Platform Services Controller” and press “Next”.
In the “Set up Single Sign-on” window, select “Configure Single Sign-on”, enter the Password, Domain name, Site name (you now can change the default “vsphere.local”) and press “Next”.
In the “Select appliance size” window, select “Embedded Tiny, Small, Medium or Large” and press “Next”.
In the “Select datastore” window, select “destination datastore”, Enable Thin Disk Mode and press “Next”.
In the “Configure database” window, select “embedded vPostgres database” and press “Next”.
In the “Network settings” window, select the Network, IPv4/IPv6, Network type, enter the FQDN, NTP settings and press “Next”.
In the “Ready to complete” window, review the settings and press “Finish”.
The process of deploying the vCenter Server Appliance to the remote ESXi host will begin. Be patient, this takes 30 minutes or more.
In the section below, you can use the vSphere Client to monitor the install and configuration progress and assist in resolving any issues you may have.
When the message “Installation Complete” appears, click on the vSphere Web Client hyperlink and then press “Close”.
Enter the Administrator credentials defined earlier and press “Login”. Note that you may have changed the default “administrator@vsphere.local” to something different. If you want to use “Windows session authentication”, you must install the “Client Integration Plugin” (link at bottom left of screen).
The vSphere Web Client will open to the “Home” screen.
