What is Google Analytics and How to Use It?

VMware ESX is an enterprise-scale server virtualization platform. The ESX/ESXi virtualization platform is not a system installed on top of an operating system like VMware Workstation, which we use for virtualization.
ESX/ESXi is a Linux-based standalone operating system; it is installed on your existing physical machine and uses hardware resources. For example, if you have a physical machine with 16 cores, 1 CPU, 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB HDD, you can create 15 machines inside this machine with 1 CPU each, 2 GB RAM, and 130 GB HDD, and you can create a network within them. Of course, the number of machines you can create can increase depending on your hardware resources.
We start our server by booting with our installation ISO via CD/DVD or USB drive.
We perform the boot operation from the mounted ESXi ISO by pressing the Enter key.
The relevant modules are being loaded before installation. The duration of this process will vary depending on the performance of your machine.
We continue the installation with the Enter key.
We accept the license agreement to continue the installation. We continue with the F11 key.
We see the existing disks on our server. If your disk is new, it should appear without issues; however, if a different operating system was previously installed on your disk, you need to completely reset your disk, otherwise your disk will not be visible. We select the disk we will install on and continue.
We select our keyboard language. I leave it as default and continue with Enter.
A password is required to connect to ESXi with the vSphere client. The password you provide here will be the root password. After entering the password, I continue with Enter. It is beneficial to make the password strong; otherwise, if hacked, you may lose all virtual servers inside the server. Also, password reset in ESX systems is quite difficult, so it should be a password you will not forget.
We start the installation by pressing the F11 key. The installation will take approximately 15 minutes.
The installation is complete. We complete the process by restarting our server. We define our IP address to provide access to our server.
We log in to our server with the credentials we defined during the installation phase and press F2 to configure our settings.
We define our IP address from the “Configure Management Network” section. When we get access, we can connect to our server with the VMware vSphere Client application and create virtual servers.
