Deploy Windows 2022 Server in a VM form factor

-

 Hi All,

 As you know, Mircosoft launchs the new Windows Server 2022 version. 

Today, i would like to show you how to deploy this Windows 2022 server version in a VM form factor. Windows 2022 also comes with 2 options i.e. Server with Desktop experience (GUI) and Server Core.

Windows 2022 server has 3 Editions like Datacenter, Standard and Essentials.

Download the Windows 2022 server ISO from below Microsoft link.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2022

Minimum hardware requirement for Windows 2022 are as follows:

1.4 GHz 64-bit processor.

2 GB for Server with Desktop Experience installation option.

32 GB Minimum disk space.

1 gigabit per second throughput Network adapter atleast.

Let's start to deploy the Windows 2022 server in a vSphere Environment.

 

Login to vCenter server and create a new VM.


                                                                          

Give a name for VM and select the folder where you want place your new VM.

 

 

 Select host or cluster where this VM will be created.

 

 Select the datastore

 

 Select the compatibility

 

Select the Guest OS. In my case , i am using vSphere 7.0.0 so i have option to select upto Windows 2019 only. May be in 7.0.2 verison, you can get Windows 2022 option to choose.

 

 

Customize the VM hardware as per your requirement like CPU, Memory, Disk, Network adapter, SCSI Controller etc..

 Click on FINISH to create the VM.

 

 New VM will be created, lets power it ON and Launch the Remote console to attach ISO file for installing the OS on this VM.

Boot the VM from ISO file.

 

 

 Click NEXT

 

 

Click On Install now option

 

 Select the Edition which you want to deploy and click Next

 

 Accept the License terms and click Next

 

Select Custom option and click Next and then select the disk and click on Next

 

 

Installation starts now. It will take some time to complete.


 

 

 Once installation completed successful;y, VM will get reboot and comes on Customize settings. Put your Administrator password. Click FINISH.

 

 And it's complete now.

 

 

 

Hope, it will be informative. Thanks, Cheers !!

How to migrate the N-VDS as the host switch to VDS 7.0 in NSX-T 3.x

  Hello There, In this article, i am covering how to migrate the ESXi host switch from N-VDS to VDS 7.0 switch in NSX-T 3.2.x version. When using N-VDS as the host switch,  NSX-T  is represented as an opaque network in  vCenter Server . N-VDS owns one or more of the physical interfaces (pNICs) on the transport node, and port configuration is performed from  NSX-T Data Center . You can migrate your host switch to  vSphere  Distributed Switch (VDS) 7.0 for optimal pNIC usage and manage the networking for  NSX-T  hosts from  vCenter Server . When running  NSX-T  on a VDS switch, a segment is represented as an  NSX-T  Distributed Virtual Port Groups. Any changes to the segments on the  NSX-T  network are synchronized in  vCenter Server. We have an NSX-T environment running with NSX-T 3.2.2.1 version. this environment was designed and implemented with NSX-T 2.x version and that time we used the N-VDS as host switch configuration on the transport nodes bcuz VDS was not supported that time.

Tried to do SSH vROPS appliance from SDDC manager, getting below error... Seems some issue with ECDSA key.. Resolution:- SSH to vROPS appliance and retrieve the ECDSA ssh keys as below. Now, we have 2 options to update the correct SSH keys for vROPS appliance on SDDC manager known_Hosts files located at below location.   /root/.ssh/known_hosts   /etc/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/known_hosts   /home/vcf/.ssh/known_hosts   /opt/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/defaults/hosts/known_hosts First option is manually copy and paste the SSH key on all the known_hosts files and restart the SDDC manager services and then try to remediate the password again. it will be successful this

How to Import/Register a VM into vRA portal

-

You can import an unmanaged virtual machine to a vRealize Automation environment. An unmanaged virtual machine exists in a vCenter but is not managed in a vRealize Automation environment and cannot be viewed in the vRA portal . Once you import an unmanaged virtual machine, the virtual machine is managed by using the vRealize Automation management interface. you can see the virtual machine on the Managed Machines tab or the Items tab. Please follow below steps to Import/Register VM into a vRA portal. Log in to vRealize Automation as a fabric administrator and as a business group manager. If you are importing virtual machines that use static IP addresses, prepare a properly configured address pool.  If you use bulk import to import a virtual machine with a static IP address that is allocated to another virtual machine, the import fails. Create a Blueprint and should not have even network attached as well. See below snapin. Create Network profile that shoul
