How to access the ESXi 6.5 web client: To access the ESXi 6.5 web client just put the IP address or hostname of the ESXi 6.5 in the browser with https.

After upgrading my VMware vSphere management infrastructure to latest version 6.5, I decided to upgrade the last part Esxi server in my lab to version 6.5, While Upgradation/installation I didn't find any change or difference, All the steps are same as earlier shown in the article I wrote PART 1 : INSTALLING ESXI ON VMWARE WORKSTATION HOME LAB. As I already written previously how to upgrade Esxi server version using VMware vSphere Update Manager, this time instead VUM, I will update Esxi OS to 6.5 using ISO. I have mounted ISO file on the server and rebooted it, and boot sequence is CD/DVD first.

Note: Before rebooting I have vMotioned migrated all my VMs to another esxi host and shared datastore using vCenter server. Also server has been put into maintenance mode. A host in maintenance mode does not perform any activities on virtual machines, including virtual machine provisioning. The host configuration is still enabled. The Enter maintenance Mode task does not complete until the above state is completed. You might need to either power off or migrate the virtual machines from the host manually. you can cancel the Enter Maintenance mode task at any time.

Right click Esxi Host, click maintenance mode, and Enter Maintenance mode, Icon of server will be changed.

After few checks I have taken only screenshot where human interaction is required while manual installation/upgradation. I have only one Hard disk at current on my Esxi server, First screenshot is where it shows the list of all the detected Hard disk drive, Select it (Where there is already OS exists), It detects and finds existing Esxi and VMFS file system where installation contains. There are three options, I am selecting first one for upgrade.

Upgrade Esxi, Preserve VMFS datastore : Use this option to retain all esxi settings, VMFS data (VMs), Nothing will be removed.
Install Esxi, Preserve VMFS datastore : Use this option to Install fresh Esxi OS, re-setup Esxi, But it will not format or remove any data from the local VMFS datastore, In case if there is any VM, all the data will be preserved, and you will have to re-register virtual machines again.
Install Esxi, overwrite VMFS datastore : If you need start everything from scratch, and clean use this option, it will erase all the data.

Click F11 button to proceed and confirm upgrade, The installer is configured to upgrade my system from older ESXi 5.5.0 to Esxi 6.5 on the first HDD, mpx.vmhba1:c0:t0:l0.

In the last it ask for server reboot after upgrade is completed. The new Esxi 6.5 has ui embedded HTML5 web client has inbuilt installed by default, So no need to install it manually as my earlier written article INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING ESXI EMBEDDED WEB CLIENT, No need to use old vSphere c# client. To access the UI HTML5 embedded web client just type the url https://esxi_ip_or_fqdn, type root as user name and password.

Once login into the ESXi server right click the Esxi host and click Exit maintenance mode, So it will be the part of the infrastructure and VMs can be vmotioned on it or powered on.

Configuring vSphere Hypervisor

After installing the vSphere Hypervisor, you must perform two basic configuration step before you can use it. Use the following procedure to configure vSphere Hypervisor.

1. After installing vSphere Hypervisor and rebooting the server, press <F2> Customize System.
2. At the login prompt, enter the following:
3. Select Configure Password and follow the instructions to assign a password to assign for logging into vSphere Hypervisor.

   The password rules as stated on the VMWare knowledge base are as follows:

   A valid password requires a mix of upper and lower case letters, digits, and other characters. You can use a 7-character long password with characters from at least 3 of these 4 classes, or a 6-character long password containing characters from all the classes. An upper case letter that begins the password and a digit that ends it do not count towards the number of character classes used. It is recommended that the password does not contain the username.

   WARNING:

   This password is required to login to your Hypervisor instance (this console) as well as for accessing through the vSphere client.

   Keep this password secure.

4. Press Enter when complete to enter the System Customization Menu.
5. Select Configure Management Network and press Enter.
