Hi beginner 🙂

1. Install DNS server and vCenter server
2. connect servers to vCenter
3. now you have to provide shared storage for both servers
   use openfiler iSCSI appliance http://www.openfiler.com/community/download
4. configure it http://xtravirt.com/how-to-configure-openfiler-iscsi-storage-for-vmware-esx-4
5. configure netowrking on your both ESXi servers ( vMotion, VM network)
6. enable HA and DRS
7. create VM
8. DONE 🙂

P.S you will have to read documentation anyway, no chance to avoid reading it

Cheers
Artur
