So I got the VMUG license package and there is something extremely basic I just need verified.
I downloaded the appliance files for vCenter and put them on a Windows Server that is running standalone, I thought I should install vCenter there. During the first steps of the installation it asks me for my ESXi Host IP (a standalone setup on another physical server) and logon information. There I stop.
I do not want to jeopardize my current running machines at this time, so the question would be is this what I want it to do? Install "on" my current ESXi? I can't find my way around the overwhelming documentation so I just ask here.
How does the vCenter administer an ESXi if it is installed within that same ESXi? Sorry, that logic kinda fails me.
