When ordering a subnet, please make sure include a note that you want to use it for ESXi and it should be routed on the additional single IP. To use a subnet (IPv4 as well as IPv6) in ESXi, you need to have at least one additional single IP set up as a router VM, since ESXi itself cannot route.Then click on the icon next to the single IP address to get a MAC address. To get these MAC addresses assigned, log into Robot, choose "Server" from the menu on the left, select the correct server, and then click on the "IPs" tab. You can then configure these can for the virtual machines. It is possible, however, to get separate MAC addresses for the additional single IPs via Robot. IP addresses are, by default, statically mapped to the MAC address of the host.For connectivity between multiple ESXi servers within the same subnet, you need set up host routes via gateway because of network security restrictions.Įsxcfg-route -a 255.255.255.255 Single IP addresses.If the screen is blank with only a blinking cursor after you are done the installation and have rebooted, try booting from the other drive. During installtion on a server with multiple identical drives, ESXi can potentially show the drives in a different order than the BIOS does.

Go to the Configuration tab, the Software section, and then choose Licensed functions in the menu. You can enter the license via the vSphere Client.You can do this by registering on the VMware website: If you want to use the OS for the long term, you need to get a separate (free) license. Please check out the Installation Guide for further information on installing ESXi.Īfter installation, the system has a test license which expires after 60 days. The installation and configuration of ESXi takes about 20-30 minutes, even without any prior knowledge.To use a subnet, you need to set up an additional single IP as a router VM.Therefore, you can only use a true bridged setup.
