How to Create a Cluster With VMware (14 Steps)


Complete any prerequisites required by the software for the type of cluster you want to create. For example, each host in a VMware HA cluster must have an assigned host name and a static IP address associated with each of the virtual NICs. All hosts in an EVC cluster should be configured for VMotion.
Start the vSphere Client by double-clicking the shortcut or select 'Start > Programs > VMware > VMware vSphere Client.'
Log in to vCenter Server as the administrator.

How to Set Up a VPS Host (8 Steps)


Select your VPS service. Follow the link in Resources below to browse hosting packages and prices. Select a service with a plan that suits your individual needs.
Click on the 'Sign Up' link on your chosen service's website. Fill out the forms and payment options as prompted. When you are done, wait for the service to process your application. When the service has created your account and virtual private server, it will send you an email with your login credentials.
Navigate to your chosen service's website, click 'My Account' and log in to your account with your user name and password. The first time you log in, the service will ask you to make some choices to configure your server. You will be prompted to make these selections after you log in.
Select your kernel. Most VPS services will offer a variety of Linux kernels to install on your server. If you know which kernel you want to run, select it. If you are unsure, choosing the Ubuntu kernel is a safe choice.
Select the size of your first partition. When you signed up for the VPS service, you chose a plan with a certain amount of disk space. You can choose to dedicate all of this space to a single partition. If you want to host multiple websites from your VPS, you can also choose to make a smaller first partition and then create more partitions from the remaining space.
Write down the IP address of each of your VPS partitions. These will be displayed on your account page. If you created only one partition, then you will have only one IP address.
Open a program on your computer capable of running the Secure Shell (SSH). If you are on Linux or Mac OS X, then this will be your Terminal application. If you are on Windows, download PuTTY (see Resources).
Type 'ssh root@your-partition's-ip-address' into your SSH-capable application, and press 'Enter' to access your VPS. Type in your account's password when prompted. After this, you will be logged in to your VPS, ready to install your server software and configure it to your needs.

How to Make a VPS Out of a Dedicated Server (6 Steps)


Check to determine if your physical server meets the hardware requirement of the hypervisor that you want to use. A hypervisor is the operating system that manages the virtual servers. Some hypervisors require specific hardware to install at all.
Save the data and/or configuration of the appliance currently running on the physical server.
Put the disc in the reader and install the hypervisor. Hypervisors install like any other operating system.
