VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide - Volume One Server Configuration The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide calls for three modern server-class systems with adequate processors and memory to host 6-8 minimally configured virtual machines used for testing. The servers used for this evaluation do not need to be overly powerful, just reliable and on the vSphere 5.0 HCL. Each server must have at least 2x 1GB or 2x 10GB network adaptor and proper connection to shared storage. The following diagram summarizes the evaluation guide test-bed configuration. Linux vCenter Appliance (VM can reside in cluster or on external management cluster) 3x 100GB FC LUNs, volume shared across hosts in pod (used in Evaluation Guide steps) 3x ESXi 5.0 hosts Logical Network Setup The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, Volume 1, uses a very simple network configuration consisting of three logical networks. The first is for vSphere management traffic, including vSphere High Availability (VMware HA). The second is for VMware vSphere® vMotion® and the third is for virtual machine traffic. Each logical network is configured as a port group on a standard switch, with a corresponding VLAN configured to provide physical isolation of the network traffic. TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER / 8
