Thanks for the help. I have installed the VCSA and when configuring "stage 2"  I am entering Static IP addressing and the IP as a hostname. When I click "Next" it says "Saving Hostname" and then I am receiving an "Internal Error" but no further information. I do not have any DHCP, NTP, or AD services.  All statically allocated IP's to 2 x ESXi servers and the VCSA and I am using them on a LAN Segment option. I have reachability between the ESXI hosts and the VCSA appliance, they can Ping each other. Any ideas ? Thanks

Hi, Reading the documentation, and noted the minimums of 120GB, 8GB RAM and 2 CPUs for the vCenter install. This is my first time installing, I am trying to build a home lab and to learn and obtain the VCP-DC certification. I have installed VMware Workstation Pro and 2 instances of ESX, and now am preparing to install vCenter ISO on a Win10 Virtual machine. Can I get away with less that 120GB ? Any other pointers on how to setup this home lab - I am a little lost on the setting up Windows 2016 server for Active Directory, DHCP and DNS. Thanks ! Darren
