VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide –

Volume One

About This Guide

The purpose of the VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, Volume One, is to support a self-guided, hands-on

evaluation of VMware vSphere® 5.0 (“vSphere”) features usable by all VMware vSphere customers. The

companion guide, the VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, Volume Two, is intended to highlight vSphere 5.0

features primarily targeted at larger, more complex deployment environments.

Intended Audience

This guide is intended to cover evaluation cases that are suitable for IT professionals who fulﬁll the following

requirements:

greater consolidation while maintaining service levels.

System Requirements

To ensure the best experience when using this guide, the user will need to conﬁgure hardware and software as

detailed in the following section.

Hardware Requirements

This guide makes the following assumptions about your existing physical infrastructure:

Servers

You must have at least three dedicated servers capable of running VMware ESXi™ 5.0 to provide resources for

this evaluation.1

Storage

You must have shared storage with enough space available to allow the creation of three 100GB dedicated

datastores. Shared storage can be SAN or NAS. This document assumes SAN-based storage.

Networking

You must have at least three virtual networks conﬁgured to separate virtual machine, vMotion, and vSphere

management. These networks can be set up on a single virtual switch with multiple port groups, or across

multiple virtual switches. For the purpose of this evaluation guide, the conﬁguration includes a single vSphere

standard switch with three port groups.

Software and Licensing Requirements

This guide makes the following assumptions about your existing software infrastructure:

VMware vSphere

This volume of the VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide requires vSphere 5.0 and licensing for Essentials Plus.

If the user intends to also complete the exercises in Volume Two of the VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, a

license for Enterprise Plus will be required. The vSphere 5.0 evaluation license available from the VMware

evaluation portal provides Enterprise Plus functionality for 60 days and is the best choice for performing the

vSphere 5.0 evaluations.

Guest Operating Systems

This volume of the VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide does not place any speciﬁc requirements on guest

operating systems, other than ensuring that you can deploy running virtual machines. The user is free to deploy

any VMware-supported operating system (OS) in the virtual machines. The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation

Guide, Volume Two, will require ﬁve or six virtual machines running Windows 2003 or Windows 2008.

Evaluation Guide Environment Setup

The VMware Technical Marketing lab was built using a combination of Cisco UCS server hardware and EMC

CLARiiON CX-4 Fibre Channel (FC) storage. The environment consisted of eight identical four-node “pods,” with

most pods conﬁgured as a three-node ESXi cluster and a fourth node for management. In many cases,

additional resources have been conﬁgured in the Technical Marketing test-bed conﬁguration to support other

evaluation projects, and are present in the diagrams. The user can conﬁgure only what is called for in the

following section and can safely ignore additional resources in screen shots and topology diagrams. The

following picture shows the Technical Marketing test rack.

Server Conﬁguration

The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide calls for three modern server-class systems with adequate processors

and memory to host 6–8 minimally conﬁgured virtual machines used for testing. The servers used for this

evaluation do not need to be overly powerful, just reliable and on the vSphere 5.0 HCL.

Each server must have at least 2x 1GB or 2x 10GB network adaptor and proper connection to shared storage.

Logical Network Setup

The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, Volume 1, uses a very simple network conﬁguration consisting of three

logical networks. The ﬁrst is for vSphere management trac, including vSphere High Availability (VMware HA).

The second is for VMware vSphere® vMotion® and the third is for virtual machine trac. Each logical network is

conﬁgured as a port group on a standard switch, with a corresponding VLAN conﬁgured to provide physical

isolation of the network trac.

Storage Setup

The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide, Volume One, uses a storage conﬁguration consisting of three 100GB

FC LUNs presented to each host, enabling creation of three datastores.

Virtual Machine Setup

The VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluators Guide, Volume One, uses a total of six to seven virtual machines for testing.

These can be Linux or Windows virtual machines. It is up to the user to conﬁgure virtual machines that can be

brought up to a running state for testing. The following diagram shows VM_01 through VM_07 conﬁgured in the

Technical Marketing test lab:
