This lecture will give you a good definition of what the vCenter is and its features are highlighted for easy understanding.
This video will show you how to download vCenter Server.
Here you will learn how to Install another ESXi Server using VMWare Player Pro. This is the reason: You will need more than one ESXi server to do the Vcenter labs.
This lecture will guide you in installing VMWare Vcenter phase one and phase two.
This will introduce you to the steps to setup vMotion. All these videos are sequential. You must follow them to get vMotion working properly.
This video will show you how to add a datacenter and a cluster and hosts to a vCenter.

How to add an ESX Server to Active Directory
Introduction to VMWare Patching
How to Configure Patching in vCenter
This lecture is just an introduction to the steps that will be taken to create a Windows cluster with a VMWare shared Storage.
This lecture shows you how to create a iSCSI share Disk for use in VMWare. This can be done using NFS or NAS or VSAN Storage. In this case we will use iSCSI on a Windows server.
How to Add in vCenter a iSCSI Adapter and Create a shared storage
How to install and configure a Domain Controller. The Domain Controller is necessary to host the Nodes that will be participating in the Cluster.
How to Install a Virtual Machine Windows server. In Section 4 , we went through downloading ISOs and creating a VM. For this lab, we need two VMs (Node A and Node B) to be used for the clustering.
For the Nodes to be able to share the same storage, we need to configure the disks accurately. This video will show you how to configure Node A and Node B properly. Node A will create the first and only Disk and Node B will add it as an existing Disk to it's configuration. All the settings will be exactly the same as Node A, except that when you add the Disk to Node B, it will be "Add a Hard Disk" >> "Add an Existing Disk". Make sure the iSCSI numbers are 100% the same on both nodes.
This video will show you how to add your cluster nodes to Active Directory. For the cluster configuration, all your nodes need to be in Active Directory.
How to install and Configure Cluster software on both nodes. Install it on Node A and then on Node B.
This video will show you how to create a Windows Cluster. Make sure you have a free static IP Address for the the cluster.
How to add a Shared Disk to a Cluster
This lecture will simulate a disk failure on one node so that the other node will take over the shared cluster Disk.
VMWare vSphere ESXi and vCenter Administration (This covers ESXi version 7 and 8)
