I have found (http://roggyblog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html) a complete instruction to create an VMWare VSphere 4.x environment (with working VMotion!) with VMWare workstation 7.x
I have build this environment (vsphere 4.1) myself and i works fine !!
The lab environment:
* VM Nwtwork: 10.10.0.0 /24
* SAN Network: 192.168.0.0 /24
* Management network: 10.0.0.0 /24

Virtual machine 1 (ESX1)
10.0.0.1 / 192.168.0.1
Needed 2GB RAM
Virtual machine 2 (ESX2)
10.0.0.2 / 192.168.0.2
Needed 2 GB RAM
Virtual Machine 3 (SAN) with Openfiler 2.x
10.0.0.5 / 192.168.0.5
Needed 0.5 GB RAM
Virtual Machine 4 (VCENTER) with Windows Server 2008R2 (x64)
10.0.0.10
Needed 2 GB RAM
Software needed:
- ISO file with Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise/Datacenter x64
- ISO file with VSphere 4.1 update 1
- ISO file with VCENTER 4.1
Ports VCENTER SERVER
HTTPS 443
HTTP 80
Heartbeat port (UDP 902
Webservice HTTP 8080
Webservice HTTPS 8443
LDAP 389
SSL 636
Some commands for the ESX server console you might need:
#vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
#vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit
#shutdown -h now (this will shutdown the host machine)
#shutdown -r now (this will reboot the host machine)

Reference guide license VPSHERE / how to change your license
Especially interesting for those with an vmware academic license

Here is what i did step by step using the instructions made by Richard Vimeo:
1. Create VSPHERE team
Start VMWare Workstation 7.x
choose create new team
name vpshere
virtual machine 1: esx1 (mount vpshere 4.1 install DVD)
virtual machine 2: esx2 (mount vpshere 4.1 install DVD)
virtual machine 3: vcenter (mount Windows Server 2008R2 install DVD)
virtual machine 4: SAN (openfiler) (other linux 2.6.2 kernel)
create 3 LAN Segments:
LAN 1: MGMT
LAN 2: SAN
LAN 3: VM
Put all VM's in the MGTM lan segment
Goto step 2
2. INSTALL ESX1 (virtual machine with 3 NIC)
Goto VM
Goto Settings
Mount ISO file to Virtual Machine
Boot virtual machine by running it
Choose Graphic install
Choose No custom drivers
IP address 10.0.0.1
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.0.0.254
DNS 10.0.0.10
Hostname: ESX1.xxxxx.local
shutdown this virtual machine from the console
VMWare Workstation:
Choose Add Hardware
NIC
Choose first Host-only
Change later to Team SAN
VMWare Workstation:
Add Hardware
NIC
Choose first custom VM0
Change later to Team VM
Run this virtual machine and goto step 3
3. Install ESX2 (virtual machine with 3 NIC)
Goto VM
Goto Settings
Mount ISO file to Virtual Machine
Boot virtual machine by running it
Choose Graphic install
No custom drivers
IP address 10.0.0.2
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.0.0.254
DNS 10.0.0.10
Hostname: ESX2.xxxxx.local
shutdown this virtual machine from the console
VMWare Workstation:
Choose Add Hardware
NIC
Choose first Host-only
Change later to Team SAN
VMWare Workstation:
Add Hardware
NIC
Choose first custom VM0
Change later to Team VM
Run this virtual machine and goto step 4
4. Install VCENTER Server
Start virtual machine
IP address: 10.0.0.10
Computername: VCENTER
DNS suffix xxxxx.local
Add Role: DNS
Custom Config
DNS server
Zone name: xxxxxx.local
Both secure / non-secure updates
no forware queries
Error: root hints not found, click OK
DNS server
A record ESX1 10.0.0.1
A record ESX2 10.0.0.2
A record SAN 10.0.0.5
A record VCENTER 10.0.0.10
Remove IE ESC
Install VSPhere client from the ESX1 server (https://esx1.vsphere.local)
Install firefox on the Vcenter server via shared folders
Connect ISO file with VCENTER server
Install VCENTER Server
(Configuration will be done in step 7)
Goto step 5 to configure SAN
This must be up and running before we can configure vcenter
5. Install SAN
Configure this virtual machine with 2 NIC's
1 nic: 10.x.x.x network
1 nic 192.168.x.x network / team SAN
Connect Openfiler 3.x ISO file to virtual machine
Boot/run VM
Choose auto partition
Choose Keep alle partitions
IP address ETH0: 10.0.0.5 / 255.255.255.0 / 10.0.0.254 / 10.0.0.10
IP address ETH1: 192.168.0.5 / 255.255.255.0
Hostname SAN.xxxx.local
Reboot after install
shutdown
Add hardware
Harddisk (SCSI)
size 500 GB
shutdown virtual machine
# shutdown -h now
6. CONFIGURE SAN
Goto SAN virtual machine
logon to console with root
# PASSWD openfiler [password]
# EXIT
Choose virtuale machine VCENTER
Start firefox within the vcenter wirtual machine (running windows server 2003)
Goto/browse to: https://san:446
