Create VMs and Connect them to Virtual Switches
Perform the following to create VMs and connect them to virtual switches:
1. To create a VM, right-click on VMware ESX(i) server item and select New
Virtual Machine. From the New Virtual Machine Wizard, specify the virtual
hardware components and size of the VM such as virtual RAM or disk size.
2. Use Typical as Virtual Machine Configuration and click Next.
3. Give the VM a meaningful name (for example, PriAS) and click Next.
4. Select a datastore for the VM and click Next.
Unclaimed means the physical adapter is not yet assigned to any other virtual
switch.
It is recommended to not connect the VMware ESX(i) Service Console with
other VMs to the same virtual switch, but to use a separate virtual switch for the
VMware ESX(i) Service Console.
In VMware ESX(i), the physical disks of VMware ESX(i) servers are called
datastores. To optimize disk performance, each VM should be stored on a
separate datastore. The Domain Controller, which has lower disk access rates, can
be stored on the same disk where the VMware ESX(i) server software is installed.
