2.0 Installation of VMware Infrastructure 3 Environment
This section will focus on the installation of the following VMware Infrastructure 3 components:
1. VMware VirtualCenter 2 and license server
2. Virtual Infrastructure Client
3. VMware ESX Server 3
Prior to installing VirtualCenter you will have to decide between host based or server based licensing. ESX
Server hosts have the option of having local license files (host based) or server based licensing. Since
VMware Infrastructure 3 is a data center infrastructure, it is easier to manage licenses for multiple ESX
Server hosts using centralized server based licensing. Our installation used server based licensing.
For details on licensing options, refer to the VMware Infrastructure 3 product documentation at
www.vmware.com
.
