Installing, Configuring and Upgrading ESX Server

Installing the Software on the Server
This installation guide steps you through the process of installing and configuring the
VMware ESX Server software on your server.
Later sections explain how to create and provision virtual machines, how to manage
your virtual machines from a remote workstation and how to work with the advanced
features of VMware ESX Server.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of ESX Server, the process is much
faster and simpler than a complete installation. For details, see Upgrading from a
Previous Version of ESX Server on page 87.
Before You Begin
To install VMware ESX Server, you need
• The VMware ESX Server software CD, which includes the VMware Console
Operating System, VMware ESX Server software and remote console software.
• A computer that meets the system requirements for ESX Server. See System
Requirements on page 17 for details.
Note: If you are installing ESX Server on an IBM eServer xSeries 360 server, be sure
you have BIOS version 1.03 or higher. Information on BIOS updates is available on the
IBM Web site at techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/fixes?view=xSeries.
Installing VMware ESX Server
The VMware ESX Server installation includes the console operating system, the
vmnixmod module, the VMkernel and VMkernel modules. The console operating
system is based on a modified Red Hat Linux 7.2 installation and is called VMnix. It is
used to configure, start and administer VMware virtual machines. The vmnixmod
module is loaded into the VMnix kernel to facilitate loading and communicating with
the VMkernel. The VMkernel manages system hardware and the virtual machines
running on the server. Users communicate with the VMkernel via the console
operating system.
The VMkernel manages all the operating systems on the machine, including both the
console operating system and the operating systems running in each virtual machine.
The VMkernel modules provide support for high-performance device I/O and allow
run-time addition of functionality to the VMkernel (for example, network traffic filters).
Before you begin, be sure you have the network information you need during
installation. You need to know
• The IP address for the server where you are installing ESX Server
