In this class I'll be installing esxi onto a physical server and then building a loud environment on

Find sewing onto a physical server rather than using VMware Workstation installed on top of Windows I'm able to get the

Best performance

I'll be using a gigabyte Brix

All of these are very commonly used as loud environments so there's a lot of information out there on

How to install

Whatever Hardware you use it's important to make sure that the network driver and the store

Storage driver are both supported by VM

Otherwise I'll have to do a custom image

Gigabyte Brix I'll show you how to do a custom image

I like to gigabyte Brix because it's small form factor makes it easy for me to take it with my

Bricks has a single Network Port as well as multiple USB ports and an HDMI out

Most of the time we're not going to need to use video

I have a small

Thumb drive plugged into the

Back of the brick

So that I can use that to install the operating system on and the flash drive inside of here can be used

Just for storing

Also inside of your 16GB memory

Whatever Hardware you using I recommend that you install as much memories you pause

Is not going to be the resource that you run out

The SSD drive inside the first 250 gig you don't really need anything larger than that

Because we're going to run out of memory and CPU before we get any

I do however recommend that use a flash drive rather than a Spinning Disk

As the performance of a Spinning Disk

Will greatly affect

I plug the gigabyte Brix into a VLAN capable switch

This is just a small Netgear prosafe

Any feline capable switch will give you an advantage because you can build it closer

To what an actual production environment with

However because not everybody has a VLAN capable switch when I build the lab environment for the class I'm not going to use

And finally because I travel a lot and I need to access the internet in hotel rooms I use a small Wi-Fi access

This plugs into the switch

And then I connect this up to the hotel Wi-Fi

Best alarm for my entire lab environment internet.
