Sphere. So you decided to build a lab, now what Building a VMware home lab is one of the best ways to learn about VMware. Ive been a huge advocate of whitebox home labs on my personal blog at ryanbirk. Some of my most popular posts are my ones based on home lab builds. A home lab allows you to gain hands on experience without disrupting a production environment. We all try to avoid those RGEs Resume Generating Events right Theres nothing like a place you can start a fire and not have to worry about putting it out A VMware lab can come in many forms, such as full rackmount servers running ESXi to small PCs running hosted hypervisors. You can even run nested ESXi inside VMware Workstation. The trouble is finding a sweet spot between, cost and functionality. Nobody wants to run a full blown rack of servers anymore. Or maybe they do I remember the good old pre virtualization days with a full 4. U rack of servers in my basement. Nowadays I tend to go for the low power stuff. Something with what I call a high WAF Wife Acceptance Factor. Before we go any further you have to realize that what we are doing is in no way shape or form supported by VMware None, zero, zilch. You cannot expect them to support home lab hardware. Their partner ecosystem ensures that everything has been tested and will be fully supported. The good news though is that there is a great community and support. If youre stuck it wont be for long. The trick here is to find hardware that works with ESXi. It can be hard though as the only hardware VMware lists is typically server grade hardware. My home lab has some serious uptime, so it is indeed possible to find hardware that is perfectly stable For the most part, the general rule of thumb is to stick with Intel based boards. I dont want to fully rule out AMD setups either, but generally Intel boards have Intel based NICs and you will have far better luck with out of the box driver support with Intel NICs. Generally with AMD labs and any lab setups with Realtek network adapters you will have to inject what they call a VIB into your image. A VIB is a driver or piece of software for ESXi. Its not a hard process at all and is well documented over here at v front. Below is a great video to watch. It covers the process in good detail. To keep our builds as simple as possible I will walk you through a couple different builds and link to hardware that works well as an ESXi lab. Well start first with an Intel NUC lab. One of the reasons the Intel NUCs are popular is they are ridiculously small and pack a lot of power. The next best reason people love the NUCs is the fact that you can install the vanilla ESXi install and the drivers work with v. Sphere 6. 5. You do not have to inject any vib files into the installer. Download ESXi from VMware and install it, that is as long youre using the 5th and 6th generation NUCs To keep these builds simple we will only be building a single host in the parts lists below. The Intel NUC Lab. The NUC is a fantastic little box. Small enough that you can take it in your airplane carry on baggage if you had to. Low power also helps the electric bill out as well. The biggest downside is only a single NIC. Although there are some reports that have gotten the Startech USB network adapter to work, I have not tested it. So if you choose to go with a NUC, youll want to pick up a switch thats capable of v. LANS since youll need them Parts List The Shuttle DS8. Lab. These Shuttle boxes are small nowhere near the biggest host you can build but I recommend these for two huge reasons, small size and low power. They have dual gigabit network connections as well built in so no need for any additional cards All of these things equate to what I call a highwife acceptance factor so thats a plus. These boxes consume a fraction of the power that a full desktop uses. My kilowatt measures about 4. Running at least two of them is what I recommend so you can create a cluster. Parts List The HostProcessor. We have to start our build with the Shuttle DS8. For this build you have two options, to go all out or to keep it simple and cheap. My opinion it to keep the costs down and buy more hosts instead of put a lot of money into getting just 1 or 2 large hosts. Id rather have 3 medium sized hosts for a lab any day of the week. Maybe you save a bit of money with an i. The biggest difference in price from above is a quad core vs a dual core. When you enable Hyperthreading it will double it as well. The i. 7 has 4 cores with hyperthreading so youll get 8 cores total. The Memory. In terms of memory, you really need to max out the host here. They are capable of doing 1. GB of ram across the entire host. The system has 2x 2. DDR 1. 33. 31. 60. GB per DIMM. This also seems to be a good price point these days. GB memory is one of the cheapest options out there now. Whatever you do, dont go below 8. GB total. The Disk. You will install ESXi 6. SD slot using the SD card, your 1. TB 7. 20. 0 SATA disk will be used as a capacity disk in v. SAN and the 1. 28. GB m. SATA drive will be used for caching. If youre looking to not use v. SAN, you really only need the USB stick. Additional VIBs. With the Shuttle DS8. Traktor Pro 2 Layouts more. ESXi 6. x, you will have to use the ESXi Customizer script above to inject this VIB to your ESXI image before you install ESXi. To wrap upYoull want to remember that VMware has a free 6. They also have a great option for home labs called the VMUG EVAL Experience which is similar to what Microsoft technet used to be in its heyday. You basically pay 2. The two lab setups above are just a place to start, there is a lot of hardware out there that works with ESXi. The NUC, you can use 3. GB of memory which is a big positive but you only get 1 network adapter. Qnx 6.5.0 Crack. The Shuttle builds max out at 1. GB of memory per host but give you two network adapters out of the box.
