Private IP network resolution

Good day,

I am running vmware in evaluation phase, still in the process of understanding the concepts.

Is there a tool that I can use to resolve the private IP addresses that I have assigned the esxi hosts, and also for the purpose of deploying the vCenter server?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards

Hosts file?

Hi,

If the purpose is also to distribute the VCSA, I advise you not to neglect the DNS, because it is very important.

The Host file only does not solve all the problems you may encounter if you do not have a DNS server.

I suggest you create a VM and install the DNS role. Create all the records you need and then proceed with the VCSA and everything else.

If you need I can guide you in creating the VM and configuring a DNS Server.

Hi,

Yes I would like to distribute the VCSA, I would appreciate your guidance in configuring the DNS server.

I am currently getting the following error when I try to deploy the VCSA: "The installer is unable to connect to the vCenter Appliance Management Interface"

Kind regards

Thuso
