Figure 5. VMware ESX Server 3i Executing Modules
Once all ESX modules have expanded and executed, the server is ready to
begin servicing workloads as illustrated in Figure6. If there is a DHCP server
or DHCP proxy configured on your network subnet, the ESX server displays
the address acquired by the DHCP server. Proceed to "Management Software
Installation" on page17 to install the Virtual Infrastructure Client.
If a warning is displayed (see Figure7), the ESX Server 3i host was unable to
obtain an IP address from your DCHP server. The next section explains how
to configure this setting.
NOTE: By default, ESX Server 3i does not have a password. Dell strongly
recommends setting a keyboard language and server password. The next section
provides information on configuring these settings.
