Customizing ESXi
Deployment and Installation Center | Data Security Solutions | Version 7.7.x
We recommend that you customize the ESXi platform as follows:
*
Assign a password to the root account.
*
Set up a management IP address for the ESXi server.
By default the management IP address is dynamically obtained using DCHP. However, we recommend that you set up a static IP address.
To configure the ESXi platform:
1.
Press F2 to access the Customize System screen.
2.
Select Configure Password, and enter a password for the root account.
3.
To set up a static IP address, select the Configure Management Network menu.
4.
Select IP Configuration, and on the screen that appears enter the following information:
*
Management IP address
*
Subnet mask
*
Default gateway
5.
From the Configure Management Network menu, select DNS Configuration.
6.
Configure static DNS information by entering the following:
*
Host name (fully qualified)
*
Primary and secondary DNS server addresses
7.
Reboot the server.
