How to create Isolated test environment
- by Safin09
Hi All,
I am very new to the VMware world. We have VMWare vCenter 4 in the production environment but we have created multiple VLAN through Cisco Switch. I want know, how I can create an isolated test environment for software testing purpose only, so anything will happen in that test vLan will not make trouble in the production environment.
"Host-only networking" is the solution or there is a better way to achieve this result?
My requirements
A. Hosts should be able to access Internet and a Network Share drive but not Production network
B. Hosts should connect each other inside the Virtual LAN
C. I should be able to take automatic or periodic backup or snapshoot and deploy snapshot when necessary.
Whatever your answer is, please give me steps, how to do, if possible.
If I need to purchase anything, I am ready to do but I don't want to spend big money.
Many thanks in advance.
