• The third partition should have a mount point of /, a size of about 1800MB
and a type of ext3. The third partition holds your root file system, and most of
the Linux and console operating system files are installed there.
Respond OK when you have created these three partitions, and respond Yes to
the Save Changes prompt.
Note: Do not create partitions on any other disks besides the main boot disk.
13. In Network Configuration, disable bootp/dhcp and enter the required network
parameters. Setup does not ask for network parameters if you do not have a
network card. Initially, only the first Ethernet card is enabled. All other network
adapters are disabled.
See Using DHCP for the Console Operating System on page 171 for instructions
and cautions on setting up a DHCP-based console operating system.
14. Enter the host name in Hostname Configuration.
Note: Be sure to include the full domain name if you are running with domains.
15. At the Time Zone Selection screen, choose your time zone. You can type U to
move quickly to the US time zones, if appropriate.
16. At the Root Password screen, specify your desired root password. Root is the user
name for the administrator. Users with administrator privileges log in with this
name when using the VMware Management Interface or the console operating
system.
In Add User and User Account Setup, you can add additional user accounts. You
need accounts for all users who need to log in to the VMware Management
Interface to create or run virtual machines. If you wish, you may add those users
at this time. However, you may find it more convenient to add them later with
the console operating system’s useradd command or by copying the
/etc/passwd file from another machine.
17. The installer then formats the disk and starts installing the packages.
18. The final screen appears, informing you that the installation is complete and you
are now ready to start configuring ESX Server.
