Installation Guide VMware ESX 3.0

April 24, 2008

Rasanya tidak lengkap kalau hanya Hyper-V Installation Guide yang saya tampilkan. Jadi sekarang saya mencoba untuk upload ebook mengenai VMware Installation Guide.

Silakan di download dibawah ini:

installation-guide-esx3

Note: Ini hanya basic installation yang menggunakan local HDD bukan SAN. Best Practise-nya adalah diinstall di SAN sehingga feature HA bisa dijalankan.

Selamat membaca.
