Before getting started make sure your ESXi 6.7 Host Meets The Requirements for RAM, CPU and Storage

Compute requirements per Deployment Size

The below table lists the ESXi host and VM capacity per vCSA 6.5 deployment size

Storage requirements per Deployment Size

The below table lists the storage requirements per deployment size

Here is a description from the VMWare site of what they do:

For most people they will probably choose the smartly placed #1 .json option on VMWare's list as it applies to the most use cases I would think:

embedded_vCSA_on_ESXi.json

Contains the minimum configuration parameters that are required for deployment of a vCenter Server Appliance with an embedded Platform Services Controller on an ESXi host.

In plain English you have an ESXi host and want to setup the vSphere/vCenter management off the same server.

OK think you're ready now?

It's not so much that it fails to install but rather that once the vcenter appliance starts for some reason the network stops working.  Restarting the network does not help either.

When starting the Virtual Appliance the last thing on the console I can see is:
