Installation
Easily install vSphere Hypervisor on your own or with some guided help. If you’re looking for a do-it-yourself approach, just download the installer, accept the end-user license agreement, and select which local drive you want to install it on.
Creating Virtual Machines
Once you’ve installed vSphere Hypervisor, there are three ways to create virtual machines:
- Use VMware vCenter Converter to transfer existing servers into virtual machines or import existing VMware and third-party virtual machine images.
- Create virtual machines from scratch by specifying the number of CPUs, the amount of memory, and the disks and network interfaces you need. Then load the operating system from ISO images or a boot disk.
- Import a virtual appliance. There are hundreds to choose from on the VMware Solution Exchange.
Configuration
Once you’ve installed or imported your virtual machines, you’ll need to configure them. Refer to the installation and configuration video within resources to get started.
- Need support? You can now purchase Per Incident Support for VMware vSphere Hypervisor.
Upgrading to VMware vSphere
Moving up to a paid vSphere lets you further optimize your IT infrastructure. You'll be able to:
- Pool computing and storage resources across multiple physical hosts.
- Have centralized management of multiple hosts through VMware vCenter Server.
- Deliver improved service levels and operational efficiency.
- Perform live migration of virtual machines.
- Take advantage of automatic load balancing, business continuity, and advanced backup and restore capabilities for your virtual machines.

The HPE customized image for VMware vSphere is based on the standard VMware vSphere ISO. It is the easiest and most reliable way to install VMware vSphere on HPE ProLiant servers. The HPE custom images for VMware vSphere includes all of the required drivers to run VMware vSphere on HPE ProLiant servers. Management software is installed to enable robust server management and works seamlessly with Intelligent Provisioning. The new ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers require the use of the HPE customized image for a successful installation. The drivers for the new network and storage controllers in the Gen9 and Gen10 servers are integrated in the HPE customized image and are not part of the generic VMware vSphere image that is distributed by VMware. VMware vSphere requires drivers for these controllers to be integrated as you are not able to insert them during installation.
