We’ll come back to later to license our vCenter along with the hosts. We haven’t added hosts yet so that’s a bit difficult. We need to apply the licenses to vCenter and the hosts. Ok, the licenses are added but we’re not done yet. Click Next.Ĭlick Finish to add the licenses to vCenter. In more robust environments I usually separate licenses by site name to clearly describe where the license is getting applied so it’s easy to tell what’s being used where. On the Edit License names section we’re going to give each license a friendly name so that we know what it’s for. In the New Licenses dialog just copy/paste your licenses, one per line and click Next. Under the Licenses section we need to click the Licenses tab. First we need to click the Home icon that will produce a drop down menu, click Administration and then on the left click Licenses under the Licensing section. We’re going to add Licensing so that when we add hosts we can just click the appropriate license and move on. You don’t necessarily have to do this part first but I like to get it out of the way. As you can see I’ve entered my credentials and we click Login to continue. Without that work we would have to login using the since that is the only default account that is a member of the Administrator groups. Because of that early effort we can now just log right into vCenter using our AD Domain service account I created and get rolling.

If you’ve been following this series you’ll know that a few articles ago we added permissions to the Administrators group while configuring the VCSA Platform Services Controller. You can safely click Continue to this website (not recommended) and move forward.
This happens because the vCenter Server is forwarding it’s authentication request to the PSC. If you look at the address bar you’ll notice that the first certificate warning is from the FQDN of the vCenter server and the second certificate warning is from the Platform Services Controller. Although these images appear redundant they aren’t. Since we’re now connecting to the vCenter Server you’ll now see 2 certificate warnings. They make this seem rather dangerous but in this case it isn’t. That’s to be expected and we just click Continue to this website (not recommended). Since we’re using the self-signed certificates still, every browser is going to show a certificate warning because it can’t verify the chain.
If you’re starting this outside of the Installer we can just enter the FQDN of the vCenter Server using HTTPS into your browser of choice. We’re going to go straight to the Appliance Getting Started Page link on the Installer. The Installer left us with a Complete status and a couple of links to click on. Again we’ll start where we ended in the deployment. We’re going to finish up by configuring vCenter and adding licensing, creating a datacenter, creating a cluster, adding hosts, applying licensing and finally we’ll enable HA and DRS. We’re at the last article in the series and so far we’ve configured ESXI using the vSphere Host Client, deployed and configured the VCSA Platform Services Controller and deployed the VCSA vCenter Server. We deployed the VCSA appliance on Stage 1 and then configured some of the basic settings for it on Stage 2. In the last article we went through deploying the VCSA vCenter Server through the installer. I’ll be covering as many new components and features of vSphere 6.5 as possible here so sit back and enjoy! VCSA vCenter Configuration This is my first attempt at a series and I decided to make it about vSphere 6.5. VMware vSphere 6.5 Series (Part 6) – VCSA vCenter Configuration.
