.tgz，如果没有指定任何参数，默认保存路径是/var/tmp，执行如下命令
vm-support -w /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/
进入/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/目录 ~ # cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ ~ # ls–la
会看到这个这个文件：esx-esx50a.ad.srt.local-2011-08-30--13.27.tgz 执行以下命令解压该文件
~ # tar -xzf /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/esx-ESXi-A.ad.srt.local--2011-03-16--14-01.tgz 查看解压后的文件
各文件的含义如下：
README ：it has instruction on how to reconstruct the files that were fragmented during the bundlecreation.
action.log： It lists all the commands and actions that were run during the vm-support.
二、vCenter的安装 1.安装需求： 硬件：
CPU - Two -bit CPUs or one -bit dual-core processor（2.0GHz or faster Intel or AMD processor）.
Memory - 4GB RAM. Memory requirements might be higher if the database runs on the same machine.
Disk storage - 4GB.
Networking – Gigabit connection recommended
软件：
vCenter Server requires a -bit operating system, and the -bit System DSN is required for vCenter Server to connect to its database.
vCenter Server requires the Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework.
If you plan to use the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express database that is bundled with vCenter Server, Microsoft Windows Installer version 4.5 (MSI 4.5) is required on your system. 2.安装：安装界面如下，打开安装文件所在目录，执行autorun.exe,出现如下画面，里面包含的vCenter所支持的所有组件，在这儿先安装vCenter Server
同意协议
输入用户信息
选择数据库，如果有数据库，选择为vCenter分配的实例，如果没有可以选择安装SQL2008Express实例，但该数据库只能支持5 HOSTS 50 VM，本例使用SAL2008Express
选择帐户信息
选择安装目录
如果是第二台vCenter可以选择链接模式
在这儿要注意，如果在该机器上装了IIS，需要更改HTTP 端口。本例中安装了IIS，所以更改为81。
接下来的过程选择默认就可以了，中间会有SQL2008Express的安装提示
安装完成。
2.安装vSphere Client 安装要求： 硬件：
CPU – 1 CPU500MHz or faster Intel or AMD processor (1GHz recommended)
Memory – 1GB RAM Disk Storage – 1.5GB
Networking – Gigabit connection recommended
软件：
Make sure that your operating system supports the vSphere Client. The vSphere Client requires the Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework. The vSphere Client is supported on the following operating systems:
• Windows XP Professional 32-bit (SP3 required) • Windows XP Professional -bit (SP2 required)
• Windows Server 2003 [Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter] 32-bit and -bit (SP2 ) • Windows Server 2003 R2 [Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter] 32-bit and -bit
(SP2 )
• Windows Vista [Business/Enterprise] 32-bit and -bit (SP2 required) • Windows 7 [Professional/Enterprise] 32-bit and -bit • Windows 7 [Professional/Enterprise] 32-bit and -bit SP1
• Windows Server 2008 [Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter] 32-bit and -bit SP2 • Windows Server 2008 [Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter] -bit R2 • Windows Server 2008 [Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter] -bit R2 SP1
安装过程默认就可以了，此处就不详述了。 3.添加主机
使用vSphere Client连接vCenter
因为本例中用的是评估版，所以有如下的提示，确定就可以了。
进入后画面如下
选择清单-主机和存储
右击vcenter.ad.srt.local,选择新建数据中心，建立MN-Datacenter 右击MN-Datacenter选择添加主机
添加ESX50A.AD.SRT.LOCAL
选是
选择许可证，这儿用的是评估版
选择完成，在下方的任务区可以看到作业状态
4.安装WEB CLIENT 软件需求：
The vSphere Web Client requires a -bit operating system for installation. The following operating systems are supported for the vSphere Web Client:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 bit with SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 bit with SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 bit with SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 bit
The vSphere Web Client is supported on the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and 8 Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and 3.6
在这个界面选择VMware vSphere Web Client(Server),选择安装，然后选择默认就可以完成安装，过程就不详述了。
安装完成后，在开始菜单里面会有相就的启动项
要使用Web Client，先要把vCenter注册进去，进入上图中所示的vSphere管理应用程序
选择是
选择注册vCenter Server,输入所需信息，点注册
选择安装证书，忽略 完成如下所示
作用Web Client,在IE中输入https://192.168.35.6:9443/vsphere-client/
输入vCenter的主机名，用户名，密码登录，
这是欢迎画面，如果不想每次登录都显示，可以选择启动时不显示。
