If you have an existing vCenter Server, you can deploy the Compute vCenter Server instance on that vCenter Server. If you do not have an existing vCenter Server, deploy the vCenter Server first and then deploy the Compute vCenter Server instance.

Prerequisites

  1. Download a copy of the vCenter Server installer file and mount the installer ISO to a local drive.

  2. Verify that the FQDN that you use with vCenter Server TCP_RAN_COMP_VC is registered in the DNS server for forward and reverse proxy. Verify that the FQDN and IP can be resolved.

Procedure

  1. Install the Compute vCenter Server Instance.

  2. Create the Compute Cluster.

  3. Create the Compute vSphere Distributed Switch.

  4. Enable vSAN Services on Compute Cluster.

  5. Configure the Compute Cluster for vSphere DRS.

  6. Configure the Compute Cluster for vSphere High Availability.

  7. Configure the Compute vCenter Server High Availability.
