Installing and configuring vCSA manually

You can manually install and configure vCSA, which includes adding the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series cluster to
vCSA.

Note:

For more information about downloading and installing vCSA, see the following VMware article:

Install

the vCenter Server Appliance on the ESXi Host (Node 1)

Complete the following steps to configure vCSA and add the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series cluster manually:

1. Go to the VX Best Recipe website to download the

vCSA Installer

https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht505302

2. Download the vCSA Installer to a Microsoft Windows-based system that has network connectivity to the

ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series appliances.

3. Mount the vCSA ISO image file.

4. On the mounted ISO image, locate and run the installer executable at \vcsa-ui-installer\win32\installer.

exe

5. Click

Install

to begin the Stage 1 installation process (deploy the OVA file).

For instructions on deploying the OVA file, see the following website:

Stage 1 - Deploy the OVA File as a vCenter Server Appliance with an Embedded Platform Services Controller

6. Follow the steps until the Stage 1 installation process is complete and click

Finish

7. After deployment is complete, click

Continue

to begin the Stage 2 installation process (setting upvCSA).

For instructions on deploying the OVA file, see the following website:

Stage 2 - Set up the Newly Deployed vCenter Server Appliance with an Embedded Platform Services
Controller

8. Create a Datacenter.

For instructions on creating a Datacenter, see the following website:

Create a Virtual Data Center and Add a Distributed Virtual Switch and Distributed Port Groups

9. Create a Cluster.

For instructions on creating a cluster, see the following website:

Create the vSphere Cluster

10. Add the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series hosts to the Cluster.

Adding the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series cluster to an existing vCSA
instance

If you already have an existing instance of vCSA, you can add the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series cluster to that
instance.

Complete the following steps to add the ThinkAgile VX7Y12 Series cluser to an existing instance of vCSA:

1. Optionally, Create a new Datacenter.

For instructions on creating a Datacenter, see the following website:

Create a Virtual Data Center and Add a Distributed Virtual Switch and Distributed Port Groups

2. Create a Cluster.

For instructions on creating a cluster, see the following website:
