Pre rec.
I have VMware essential plus license.
2 hosts with dule cpu 256 gb ram lsi 9271-81cc that are in 4 u supermicro case full of drives and a jbod unit that I will use for VSA..
I have 3 servers 1 firewall (Sophos utm), AD DC server 2012, vcenter server.
----
I know I have to set vcenter server to its own public static Ip. on a non nat environment.
So the question I have is???
Do I set the AD DC (AD DS) on a public static ip too? then have the vcenter server join the domain point the dns to the venter server. Then add the ESXI hosts with there own public static ip's too????
I will work on refining this post as I have a ton of questions that Needs more detail...
