              In this article, we will share some important information about new vCenter Server 7.0 and the procedure to deploy the vCenter 7.0 appliance.

              There are many enhancement and features available with the latest vSphere 7.0 version and there are three important information you should know before upgrading or installing vCenter 7.0

              • Removal of External Platform Services Controller

              To deploy or upgrading vCenter Server in vSphere 7.0 requires the use of vCenter Server appliance only With vCenter Server 7.0 all Platform Services Controller (PSC) services, preserving the functionality and workflows, including authentication, certificate management, and licensing. And no longer necessary nor possible to deploy and use an external Platform Services Controller with vCenter 7.0. All PSC services have been consolidated into vCenter Server, and deployment and administration have been simplified.

              • Removal of vCenter Server for Windows Support

              In vSphere 7.0, vCenter Server for Windows has been removed and support is not available

              • Deprecation of Image-Based Backup and Restore Support for vCenter Server

              Image-based backup and restore for vCenter Server is deprecated in vCenter Server 7.0 and will not be supported in a future vSphere release

              vCenter Server 7.0

              The vCenter Server Appliance is a preconfigured virtual machine that is optimized for running vCenter Server and the associated services. Center Server provides a centralized platform for management, operation, resource provisioning, and performance evaluation of virtual machines and hosts.

              The vCenter Server group of services contains vCenter Server, vSphere Client, vSphere Auto Deploy, and vSphere ESXi Dump Collector. The vCenter Server appliance also contains the VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager Extension service and the VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager.

              The vCenter Server appliance package contains the following software:

              • Photon OS 3.0
              • The vSphere authentication services
              • PostgreSQL
              • VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager Extension
              • VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manage

              Pre-Requisites

              • To deploy vCenter Server 7.0 appliance you need an ESXi host 6.5 or later, or on a vCenter Server instance 6.5 or later.
              • Fully Qualified Domain Name for vCenter and it is reachable from the client machine from which you are deploying the appliance.
              • Client machine, ESXi host, the vCenter appliance use the same DNS server.
              • The clock on the target server and all vCenter Server instances on the vSphere network should be on sync.

              Hardware & Storage Requirement

              You can select the vCenter Server Appliance based on the size of your vSphere environment. The option that you select determines the number of CPUs and the amount of memory for the appliance.

              The storage requirements are different for each vSphere environment size and depend on your database size requirements.

              Network Requirement

              Unused Static IP with FQDN and designated ports should be opened for communication, Refer – Ports information

              Software Requirement

              There two types of deployment available, in our scenario we are using GUI mode and this deployment process includes a series of two stages.

              • Stage 1 – OVA Deployment

              In the first stage, you can choose the deployment type and appliance settings on the deployment wizard.

              • Stage 2 – Appliance Setup

              The second stage provides a setup wizard to configure the appliance time synchronization and vCenter Single Sign-On. This stage completes the initial setup and starts the services of the newly deployed appliance
