Network Configuration of the ESXi Host
Even if it is not relevant for your network, you need an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name).
Example: Enter local.lsi.com as the FQDN if you are using the local ESXi console
—
Option 1: Use the already existing Vswitch, which has a VMkernel port already attached for the communication.
The application that you use determines which option to choose. Make sure that you choose the applicable option at an early stage, because creating a new Vswitch with VMkernel requires a reboot to make sure a proper communication exists between the CIM provider and the new interface. If you want to reach the target as quickly as possible, no change is recommended.
Configure the IP address. The address must be accessible by the VM that will be installed next.
