Installation Guide and Upgrade Guide for ESX Server 3 under VMware Infrastructure 3 on the VMware documentation website at www.vmware.com/support/pubs.

•VMware Infrastructure Client - installs on a system running a supported Windows operating system and is the primary tool to manage an ESX Server host by directly connecting to it or through the VirtualCenter server.

•Virtual Machine Storage — stores virtual machine configuration and virtual disk files. This can be either an internal storage local to the ESX Server or an external storage that can be shared by multiple ESX Servers. Advanced features such as VMotion, DRS, and HA require that the virtual machine’s disk and configuration files are stored on external shared storage.

•VMware Infrastructure Web Access — a web interface for managing virtual machines and accessing remote consoles.

Guidelines

Before deploying VMware Infrastructure, follow the guidelines below:

•Determine the licensing mode that will best suit the deployment environment and design the licensing infrastructure accordingly.

•Determine the type of storage (local SCSI/SAS/SATA, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel SAN) for hosting virtual machines that will best suit the deployment environment and design your storage infrastructure accordingly.

•Determine the number of logical unit numbers (LUNs), size of the LUNs, RAID level of the LUNs, and the number of storage groups.

•Determine the number of virtual machines that will run on the ESX Servers and their corresponding workloads.

•Size the resource requirements for the virtual machines, such as the microprocessor requirements, memory size, and networking. For more information on general sizing and scaling studies, see the documentation

available on the Dell and VMware Alliance website at www.dell.com/vmware→Resources→White Papers. For articles on performance and sizing, see the VMware documentation website at www.vmware.com/support/pubs.
