The document describes how to install VMware View 5.2 on a single server. It involves installing ESXi as the base hypervisor, then creating 3 VMs for Active Directory, Connection Server, and vCenter Server. DNS and DHCP servers are configured to support virtual desktops. vCenter is installed to manage the base hypervisor and 2 nested ESXis are deployed as virtual hypervisors to host virtual desktops. View components are installed and configured to enable a single-server View environment.
This document discusses building a "home cloud" by running virtual ESXi servers on a single physical server. It provides requirements, design details, and step-by-step installation instructions. The goal is to execute VMotion and high availability functions by creating a vCenter-managed cluster of two virtual ESXi servers on one physical server with shared storage. While an affordable option, the document notes the noisy physical server is not ideal. Overall it presents a method for virtually replicating public cloud infrastructure on a small scale for learning and testing purposes.
