In this blog, I will be able to add an ESXi host 7 to the vCenter Server inventory, so as to make a vSphere environment and use vSphere features. This ESXi host doesn’t have any special configuration, but I would like to manage this host through our vCenter Server and therefore the vSphere client.

1- First we need to add a new host in our DNS Manager, right-click your local domain and select New Host (A or AAAA).

2- Type your ESXI host 7 hostnames, IP Address, checkbox Create associated pointer (PTR) record and click the Add Host button.
