Creating Other ESXi BMSs
- Create a BMS. Select a flavor and an image (see Table 3) and configure the VPC subnet to which it connects.
- Use the key to log in to the ESXi BMS and change the user root password.
- Add a local datastore to the ESXi host.
- Create vSwitch1 for the second and third ESXi hosts, set vmnic2 to uplink, and create vmkernel NICs with IP addresses 11.11.11.102 and 11.11.11.103 on vSwitch1.
- Log in to the Windows jump VM and vCenter. Add the ESXi hosts to the vCenter host cluster and DVS through IP addresses 11.11.11.102 and 11.11.11.103.
- Migrate the VMkernel NIC and uplink on vSwitch1 to the distributed port group and DVS of dvSwitch-0/hb-mgmt. Configurations of the vSwitch on the second and third ESXi hosts are as follows.
