One thing to comment on here. For the disk expansion, is that a limitation of the OS? As for expanding the HD of the VM, all you have to do is adjust the size in VM settings, and then from within your OS, expand the disk. Your HD will then fill out to be the entire size of what you've configured it for. It's a super simple, 10 second thing to accomplish, atleast in Windows systems. I'm certain Linux, etc have a way to do it from the CLI.
Awesome Tutorial from start to finish. What are the specs you provided on the EVE-NG VM for a substantial lab? Let's say for SDWAN, which require a lot of resources. I am looking to do the same thing but not sure if I should install it on bare metal. I like the flexibility of ESXi to test other software. But for big labs EVE-NG needs a lot of resources. Thanks.
Hey Paul, sorry for the delay. The free version of ESXi that I'm using limits me to 8vcpu per VM. So my EVE-NG VM has the 8vpcu's and 48GB of memory and I was able to do a little labbing with SD-WAN. I didn't do a lot of testing I just spun up the Vmanage, ect just to see how it works, move around the GUI, get some devices added and I didn't run into any issues. I plan to put some time into SD-WAN this coming year so I'll have a better idea once more nodes have been added. Thanks for watching !
Great video as always. Thank you! Would you be able to make a video that talks about your CCIE journey? (How long it took you to get it? How many years of experience do you have as a network engineer etc..?)
Can you recommend a server be used for big data analytics, VM and ml/ai purposes? (I'm trying to set up a home lab for days science purposes and I'm struggling to find options that under 1k just for the chassis!)
Hey Rafael, Thanks for the great content. I literally followed each step in your video to the T, multiple times with the Pro version and Community version. However, when I start the virtual machine, It briefly shows a prompt of EVE NG saying to install EVE NG VM and other options, but then it disappears. It goes into this black menu and asks me for language, Keyboard selection, proxy server, and then it says that to continue the install, it will delete all the info on the disks chosen to be formatted. It says "Continue with destructive process? You cannot go back or come back to this page afterwards". No idea whats going on. Thanks
Hi , thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback! Were you able to get this working? which image did you download, the OVF or the ISO? And which hypervisor? Once you let me know i'll try to set it up on my side and see if I can help with the issue.
@@NetworkEngineerPro Hey! Appreciate your response, I actually got it to work. I downloaded the ISO, all I had to do is click continue and it started installing Ubuntu and EVE. Thank you!

Hey thanks! Glad you liked it. Sure i’ll try and do something like that soon.
@@NetworkEngineerPro thank you
thanks a lot ,but why esxi on raid 5. in production is it correct for os installation like esxi

Watching this after VMWARE decided to sell out and get rid of ESXI
Oh man, i cant believe they did that. Might have to try something new.
@@NetworkEngineerPro Yea I decided to go with Proxmox instead.
