COMPUTE and Management Cluster Setup

To clearly demonstrate Software-defined-X technologies, we need to have following cluster of ESXi Hosts

• Management Cluster (RSDDC-MgmtCluster) that has four virtual ESXi(vESXi) Hosts. These hosts are used to deploy all management VMs ( NSX, VCAC, VCO, VCVA, etc). VSAN is part of Compute Nodes.
• Compute Cluster (RSDDC-CompCluster): These hosts are used to deploy workloads.

Installing ESXi as VM has been well documented over many blogs.

All these vESXi Hosts can be deployed on single Server
