Setup a Basic Inventory with the Getting Started Tabs
The Getting Started tabs in the vSphere* Client connected to vCenter* Server provide a wizard to setup a
basic inventory quickly.
Figure 23 – vSphere* Client Getting Started Tab
Setting up a basic inventory with the Getting Started tabs after installing vCenter* Server includes the
following tasks:
Creating a datacenter.
Adding the host to the datacenter.
Creating a virtual machine.
An empty vCenter* Server inventory is necessary to view the Getting Started tabs wizard. After setting-up
the basic inventory, the Getting Started tabs continue to provide information about inventory objects but no
longer provide inventory setup wizard help.
