Minimal VCF 9.1 Lab Build on a Single Host

I’m documenting here the steps I took to deploy the bare minimum requirements to run workloads with VCF on my Dell T7920.

System Specs

Dell T7920
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon 6262V
RAM: 768GB RAM
Boot Drive: 512 GB NVMe
Storage: 8x 2TB NVMe, 128GB SSD

This can be done with less. I just happened to have built this machine with an eBay seller prior to prices increasing, when NVMe drives were as affordable as they ever were.
