In this tutorial we learned how to install the vCenter Server appliance on a Mac using Login to vCenter using the and the password you specified in the previous step.

Click the LAUNCH VSPHERE CLIENT (HTML) button to load the login screen. Remove the port number from the URL to login to vCenter for the first time. Un-tick CEIP if you donвЂ™t want to share data with VMware and then click NEXT. Enter the root password and click LOG IN.Д®nter the single sign on domain name and administrator password then click NEXT. You will be asked to login to continue the setup. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your vCenter Server with using 5480 for the port. Press ESC again to exit settings and you should now see the IP address we can use to configure and manage the vCenter appliance. YouвЂ™ll then be asked to confirm the changes by pressing Y. Press ESC to exit the network configuration screen. Warning: Since we are not using a DHCP server or modified any hosts files, we need to use the IP address as the hostname otherwise the vCenter server setup will fail in the final steps and the appliance will need to be re-deployed. Type in the gateway IP in the Primary DNS Server box and the IP address of the vcenter host specified in the previous step as the hostname then press Enter. Select Use the following DNS server addresses and hostname by pressing Space. Select the DNS Configuration and then press Enter. ThatвЂ™s because IвЂ™ve changed it and disabled DHCP by editing the /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking config file and restarting VMware Fusion.

You may notice my network address is different to yours. If youвЂ™re using DHCP, you can find out what part of the range you can use for static IP addresses in this tutorial. For example, mine is 10.1.1.1 so the gateway is 10.1.1.2. Tip: You can find out the gateway by running ifconfig at the terminal and by adding 1 to the inet address of the vmnet8 interface. Select the Set static IP address and network configuration option by pressing Space then enter the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. Select Configure Management Network then press Enter. Open the virtual machine settings, click on the network adapter and then change it to Share with my Mac.Д¬lose the settings window, then click into the virtual machine, press F2 and then enter the password you assigned when importing the virtual appliance to login. In the following steps, weвЂ™ll change the network to a private network shared with the Mac and then assign a static IP address. The default network of the virtual appliance is set to bridged, as you can see from the image in the previous step showing an IP address assigned by the DHCP server of my router.

YouвЂ™ll see the following screen for awhile, donвЂ™t login, just wait for the UI to load.ДЄfter waiting patiently, the UI should now be loaded and weвЂ™re ready to configure the management network, which weвЂ™ll do in the next step.Д¬onfiguring the vCenter virtual appliance management network The first boot might take a few minutes while vCenter is configured. Wait for the vCenter virtual machine to import then click Continue.Д¬lick Finish to close the import wizard and boot the virtual machine.

You will be asked to give the virtual machine a name. Enter a root password then click Continue. We only need to configure a password in the next step because weвЂ™ll be configuring the management network and other settings once the appliance is imported. Since weвЂ™re only testing vCenter on a Mac, leave it on Tiny vCenter Server with Embedded PSC and then click Continue. Importing the vCenter virtual appliance into VMware FusionДouble clicking the OVA will launch VMware Fusion and start the import process.
