ESXi 6.7 Hypervisor is one of the most popular VMware tools for virtualization. But how to install ESXi 6.7 on the server?
In the previous part of this tutorial, we learned about the concept of virtualization and VMware tools, answered the question of what ESXI is, and introduced other VMware components.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the ESXi operating System on a server.
How to Install Esxi on a server
To install the ESXi virtualization operating System on the server, you must first download the ISO File from ESXi 6.7 and boot it from the flash drive, allowing you to install it on the server. Then it is enough to go through the following steps:
1. Connect the flash drive containing ESXi 6.7 to the server and restart it.
2. At this point, all ESXi 6.7 modules will start booting automatically.
3. After completing the above step, a message will be displayed indicating the start of ESXi 6.7 installation. Then, select the Continue option by pressing the Enter key.
