PRACTICAL - 5

Aim: Create type 2 virtualization on esxi 6.5 server

Theory:
Type 2 virtualization involves running a hypervisor within a host operating system. In
this case, we'll use VMware Workstation as the Type 2 hypervisor, installed on macOS.
VMware Workstation allows you to create and manage virtual machines on your local
machine, which can then be connected to and run on your ESXi 6.5 server.

Procedure :

1. Install VMware Workstation on macOS:

● Download the VMware Workstation for macOS installer from the VMware
website.
● Double-click the installer file and follow the on-screen instructions to install
VMware Workstation on your macOS system.

2. Connect to Your ESXi Server:

● Launch VMware Workstation on your macOS.


● Click on File > New Virtual Machine.
● Select New Remote Server.
● Enter the IP address or hostname of your ESXi server.
● Enter your ESXi server username and password when prompted.
● Click Connect to establish a connection to your ESXi server.

3. Create a Virtual Machine on ESXi:

● Once connected to your ESXi server, click on Create a New Virtual Machine.
● Follow the wizard to create a new virtual machine. Specify the operating system,
virtual hardware configuration, and allocate resources like CPU cores, memory,
and storage.
● Customize any additional settings as needed.

4. Install Guest Operating System:


● After creating the virtual machine, power it on.
● Follow the installation procedure to install the guest operating system of your
choice. This involves attaching an ISO file containing the installation media to the
virtual machine and going through the installation process.

5. Configure Networking:

● Configure networking for your virtual machine to ensure it can communicate with
other systems on your network or the internet. You can choose between bridged,
NAT, or host-only networking modes depending on your requirements.

6. Manage Virtual Machines:

● You can now manage your virtual machines directly from VMware Workstation
on your macOS. This includes powering them on/off, taking snapshots, and
configuring virtual hardware settings.

7. Additional Considerations:

● Ensure that your macOS system meets the hardware requirements for running
VMware Workstation and hosting virtual machines.
● Keep your virtual machine files and configurations backed up regularly to prevent
data loss.
