Installing an ESXi Hypervisor on a Server HiveManager Virtual Appliance QuickStart
The following procedure assumes that you have a keyboard and monitor attached to the device you
intend to make the ESXi host.
1. From the VMware website, register for a free account and download ESXi 4x or later. ESXi 3 does not
support the HiveManager Virtual Appliance.
2. Burn the ESXi image to a CD or DVD.
You will use this disc to install the image on the virtualization host.
3. Load the disc with the ESXi image on the host and boot it up from the disc.
4. After accepting the end user license agreement, follow the onscreen VMware ESXi installer instructions
to select a hard disk on which to install ESXi, set a keyboard layout preference, and define an ESXi
hypervisor root admin password.
When the installation is complete, remove the disc and reboot the system.
5. After the system reboots, press the F2 key to log in to the ESXi Direct Control User Interface using the root
admin password that you just set.
Check if the host received its network settings through DHCP. If so, note its IP address. If not, configure
static network settings through the onscreen interface.
6. On your management system, open a browser and make an HTTP connection to the ESXi hypervisor IP
address.
Click Download vSphere Client, and download and install VMware vSphere Client on your system.

1. Launch VMware vSphere Client, enter the IP address that you defined for the ESXi hypervisor, and then
log in with the root admin credentials you set when you installed the ESXi hypervisor.
By default, ESXi has two virtual networks: Management Network and VM Network. Both networks are
bound to the vSwitch0 virtual switch, which in turn connects to the vmnic0 physical adapter. The
interface for the ESXi hypervisor is bound to the management network. The interfaces of the virtual
machines that you deploy—such as the HiveManager Virtual Appliance—can be bound to the VM
network or to another network that you define.

Installing the HiveManager Virtual Appliance HiveManager Virtual Appliance QuickStart
• Thin Provision: When you select this option, the ESXi hypervisor allocates only enough host disk space
to the HiveManager Virtual Appliance for it to start, leaving the rest of the disk space for other virtual
machines to use if needed. Note that one disadvantage to this approach is that the HiveManager
Virtual Appliance might run more slowly as it reclaims disk space as needed.
Aerohive recommends selecting either of the thick provisioning options for better performance. Thin
provisioning is useful for space-demanding VMs. After you make your selection, click Next.
The Network Mapping window appears.
9. Map the HiveManager to the VM Network destination. When the mapping is correct, click Next.
10. Confirm that your deployment settings are correct, select the Power on after deployment check box to
start the HiveManager Virtual Appliance, and then click Finish.
