We will be able to continue with another automatic update process, and it is only once we have all the hosts updated to the version 6.5, We will need to update (in this order) VMware Tools and Virtual Machine Hardware. The latter perhaps more optional. We will do all this through Update Manager which, as we know, is embedded in the vCenter Server Appliance 6.5
As we already know, Update Manager is the VMware product that will keep the vSphere virtual infrastructure fully up to date. With UM we will be able to update the patches or versioning of ESXi hosts in a centralized and fully manageable way, as well as Virtual Machines or Virtual Appliances! We will see as an example how to update a host of the version 6.0 from ESXi to the 6.5 Update 1, for this, without moving from the chair, we will upload an ESXi image to Update Manager and install it to the hosts that need it!
In this post we will be able to see how to configure authentication against our Active Directory in the VMware vSphere virtual platform. We'll enable it on the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi hosts, so that you can assign access permissions to Active Directory users or groups. And so instead of using the default credentials (As we do wrongly); each employee will use their DA account, with the privileges that he should have, It will also be useful to see 'Who does what'.
In this post you will learn how to deploy a VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5, By following the steps in this document, you will be able to have a vCenter server deployed on a Linux appliance in a virtual machine to manage your vSphere infrastructure, both hosts and VMs! It is a second basic document in a series of articles to come! I hope that if it is not in this, The next documents will be useful to you!
