In this article, we will share information about creating a virtual machine on VMware (ESX).
Installation Process
First, right-click on the Node on the main server and click “Create a New Virtual Machine”. A step-by-step wizard will open.
Step 1
In the first step, you will see two options: “Typical” and “Custom”. Since we are setting up a standard virtual server, continue with Typical.
Step 2
In the second step, name the virtual server. You can enter a unique name or the server’s main IP address in the “Name” field. Using the IP address is advantageous if you have many virtual servers.
Step 3
In this section, select the disk for the virtual server. You can see all attached disks on the main server with their used and free space. Select the disk you want to install the virtual server on.
Step 4
Select the operating system to be installed: Windows, Linux, or other. Choose the appropriate option and continue.
Step 5
Determine the network layer for the virtual server. If you don’t have different network layers created with virtual switches, you can continue with the standard VM Network > VMXNET 3 option.
Step 6
Select the disk space for the server. There are 3 options, but we recommend Thin Provision. With this option, only the actually used disk space is shown on the main server — if you allocate 250 GB and use 100 GB, only 100 GB will appear as used on the main server.
Step 7
OS, network, and disk steps are complete. Now configure RAM, CPU cores, and other settings. Check the checkbox at the bottom of the page and click Continue. In the next window, adjust RAM and CPU as needed. You can also disable Floppy or Video Card features, or add new features using the Add… button. For CPU, the upper option is the number of virtual processor sockets, and the lower is the number of cores per socket. For example, to give 4 cores: set Virtual Sockets: 2 and Cores per Socket: 2.
