I have 2 esxi 5 servers I have installed vcenter on a virtual machine on one of the esxi servers. How do i connect vserver to the esxi machines?
you may think about creating a cluster under your datacenter. This way, if you are licensed for it, you can utilize HA/DRS. You would just "add host" to the cluster.
Once you have vCenter installed, you'll start the vSphere client and connect to the hostname or IP for the vCenter server (instead of the ESXi hosts). You'll then create a new datacenter under the vCenter host (in the navigation pane on the left side of the screen). After you've created a datacenter, you can either create a cluster (and then add your hosts) or just add your hosts.
How do i connect to the hostname or ip? Where is the ability to do that.
see if this helps... You may want to start around page 208
On the vSphere client login screen it asks for;
IP address / Name: - you'll enter the IP address or hostname (assuming you have DNS or some name resolution working) of the vCenter host
User name - a local administrator account for the vCenter server
Password - for the above account
I figured it out once your in vcenter create a datastore, name it, right click on the datastore to add hosts. thanks
