Hello,
Probably a simple question with a simple answer here.
I have a Dell VRTX with two M630 blades. I have ESXi 6.5 installed on both blades and shared storage in the VRTX chassis ready to be presented to the ESX hosts. However, Dell recommends that the VRTX shared storage not be presented to multiple blades until the systems running on those blades have been properly clustered. This means that I'd ideally get vCenter running and my ESX hosts clustered prior to configuring shared storage - but I want my vCenter server running as a VM on shared storage to take advantage of the associated benefits. So naturally, the question is -
Where do I install vCenter and in what order should I do things? Should I create the vCenter VM using local storage on one of the ESX hosts, cluster the hosts, present the VRTX shared storage to the hosts, and then move the VM from local storage to shared storage? Or how should I approach this?
Thanks.
