LUN created Create extra LUNs and grant access (map) to hosts as needed. Note: To modify host access at any time, check the box next to the LUN to select it. Click the icon, and select the Host Access tab. B.3 VMware preparation B.3.1 VMware ESXi download and installation Install VMware ESXi 6.7 U1 or later, on each PowerEdge server. Dell EMC recommends using the latest Dell EMC customized ESXi .iso image available on support.dell.com. The correct drivers for the PowerEdge server hardware are built into this image. This image is used to install ESXi using CD/DVD, a USB flash drive, or by mounting the .iso image through the PowerEdge server's iDRAC interface. Each ESXi host has one 1GbE BASE-T interface connected to the OOB management network for communication with the vCenter Server. B.3.2 Install and configure VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U1 For information about the installation and configuration of vCenter Server, see vSphere Installation and Setup. In this deployment, the vCenter Server is located on a separate host within the data center. B.3.3 Add ESXi hosts to vCenter Server The vSphere Web Client is a service running on vCenter Server. In the vSphere Web Client, a data center object named Datacenter is created for this deployment, and the two ESXi are added to it. A cluster that is named Management is created and added to the data center object, and the four R740xd hosts are added to the cluster. When complete, the vSphere Web Client Hosts and Clusters tab in the Navigator pane is displayed as shown in Figure 17. 40 Dell EMC Networking OS10EE FCoE Deployment with FSB

support.dell.com
. The correct drivers for the PowerEdge
server hardware are built into this image. This image is used to install ESXi using CD/DVD, a USB flash drive,
or by mounting the .iso image through the PowerEdge server’s iDRAC interface.
Each ESXi host has one 1GbE BASE-T interface connected to the OOB management network for
communication with the vCenter Server.
B.3.2
Install and configure VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U1
For information about the installation and configuration of vCenter Server, see
vSphere Installation and Setup
.
In this deployment, the vCenter Server is located on a separate host within the data center.
B.3.3
Add ESXi hosts to vCenter Server
The vSphere Web Client is a service running on vCenter Server. In the vSphere Web Client, a data center
object named
Datacenter
is created for this deployment, and the two ESXi are added to it.
A cluster that is named Management is created and added to the data center object, and the four R740xd
hosts are added to the cluster. When complete, the vSphere Web Client
Hosts and Clusters
tab in the
Navigator
pane is displayed as shown in Figure 17.
