I need some Help configuring VCSA to talk to the ESXI servers

I need some help in getting my vCenter to configure with my ESXi and storage. All vCenter setting seem to be non-configurable and not pulling any setting from the network.

I installed the VCSA.6.0 appliance from the .ISO and used Text editor to add network parameters in the .VMX file. No problem there but the vSphere web Client dosen't let me configure any of the management features like Storage or Host and Clusters.

What I would really like is a configuration wizard. Is there any?

My Lab Setup:

Everything is on my laptop as follows.

VMworkstation 11 is hosting two ESXi servers plus storage with the DHCP/DNS 2008R2 Server.  All ESXi’s are all communicating using the Forward/Reverse records and there all on the same virtual network.

I just need my vCenter configured with my Network management.

Thanks in advance guys.

I am unclear if you have VCSA up and running or not. You would have needed to create a DNS record in workstation or in your base network to deploy the VCSA.  If you have the VCSA up and running the web client should be available for you to create clusters, add hosts etc.

I'm assuming you are logged in with administrator@vsphere.local account?

Have a look on this, assuming you have network/DNS settings configured

Join the vCenter Server Appliance to an Active Directory Domain
