Hi ,
Yes, you can . Go through with below steps or see the VM support for better accuracy ....
Software Requirements:
- You must use ESXi host with version 5.5 and higher.
- The minimum hosts that can be connected as a part of the datacenter managed by VCSA 6.7 must be ESXi 6.0 and higher.
- You can check version compatibility with other VMware products see the Product Interoperability Matrix.
Architecture:
- Recommended VMware architecture is now a vCenter server and Platform Service controller (PSC) within a single VM.
- The VCSA with embedded PSC requires the following hardware resources (disk can be thin provisioned)
– Tiny (up to 10 hosts, 100 VMs) – 2 CPUs, 10 GB RAM
– Small (up to 100 hosts, 1000 VMs) – 4 CPUs, 16 GB RAM.
– Medium (up to 400 hosts, 4000 VMs) – 8 CPUs, 24 GB RAM.
– Large (up to 1000 hosts, 10,000 VMs) – 16 CPUs, 32 GB RAM.
– X-Large (up to 2000 hosts, 35,000 VMs) – 24 CPUs, 48 GB RAM
- Configure proper DNS with forward and reverse records. FQDN resolution should be in place when deploying vCenter Server.
- If you have firewall between vCenter and the rest of infrastructure, a Required Ports for vCenter Server and PSC can be found here.
Installation Steps
vCenter 6.7 U1 Download
It is a large ISO file. In our case, the latest version is this one: “VMware-VCSA-all-6.7.0-10244745.iso”
Installing the appliance is a two-stage process. The first stage will simply deploy a new appliance to the target vCenter Server or ESXi host. The second stage will finalize the setup of the deployed appliance.
First mount the ISO and navigate to the folder which corresponds to the OS you have on your management workstation you’re trying to install from. You can use Windows, Linux or MAC to install VMware VCSA.
The folder is “vcsa-ui-installer” and inside you have 3 different folders. If you’re in Windows, simply chose the win32 folder. If you’re on Linux, chose the “lin64” etc.
Then launch the installer.exe (example under Windows).
