Add ESXI Host to vCenter Server

finsfree · ‎10-29-2016

I am kind of new to vSphere6 but I have to know this stuff for work purposes.

I have a virtual Domain environment in VMware Workstation that is set up like this:

1 ESXi Host
1 Domain Controller Running DNS (Server 2012)
1 vCenter Server (Server 2012)
1 Work Station (Win7 Pro)

I can connect to the vCenter Server (Server 2012) through vSphere Web Client (using Win7 Pro) (https://vcsa.contoso.local/vsphere-client/?csp). Once I am in, I click on "Hosts and Clusters" and I have nothing in my inventory (no ESXi IP address shows up).

How do I add an ESXi Host to the vCenter Server?

Thx,

P.S. I am using the evaluation version of all the VMware products. Everything seems to be working fine up until this point.

After log in with the administrator@vsphere.local just assign permission to your other users.
