Configuring VMware Components and Creating Virtual Machines

After you are finished performing the Post-Installation Tasks, you can configure the VMware ESXi host and create your virtual machines.

If you initialized and mirrored any internal data disks during the installation process, you can create VMFS datastores on them now, as summarized in Adding and Mirroring Data Disks.

If you need to configure additional network connections, you can configure port groups and vSwitches as summarized in Configuring Network Interfaces.

No additional software is required in your own virtual machines to enable fault tolerance. The ztC Endurance Management VM and Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange​ manage the uptime of your system. After installing a guest operating system, you need to install only the standard VMware Tools.
