14 From the list of available datastores, select the location where all the virtual machine conguration les
and virtual disks will be stored and, optionally, enable thin provisioning by selecting Enable Thin Disk
Mode.
15 On the Set up temporary network page, set up the network seings.
The IP address or the FQDN of the appliance is used as a system name. It is recommended to use an
FQDN. However, if you want to use an IP address, use static IP address allocation for the appliance,
because IP addresses allocated by DHCP might change.
Option Action
Choose a
network
Select the network to which to connect the new appliance temporarily.
Verify that the temporary network provides connectivity between the source vCenter Server and the
target vCenter Server Appliance.
The networks displayed in the drop-down menu depend on the network seings of the target server.
If you are deploying the appliance directly on an ESXi host, non-ephemeral distributed virtual port
groups are not supported and are not displayed in the drop-down menu.
I If you want to assign a temporary IPv4 address with DHCP allocation, you must select
a network that is associated with a port group which accepts MAC address changes.
Network
type
Select how to allocate the IP address of the appliance.
n
Static
You are prompted to enter the IP address and network seings.
n
DHCP
A DHCP server is used to allocate the IP address. Select this option only if a DHCP server is
available in your environment.
If you use an IP address as a system name, you cannot change the IP address and update the DNS
seings after deployment.
