VMware Workstation 5. Features. Documentation. Knowledge Base. Discussion Forums Prev. Setting Up a New Virtual Machine. The New Virtual Machine Wizard guides you through the key steps for setting up a new virtual machine, helping you set various options and parameters. You can then use the virtual machine settings editor VM Settings if you need to make any changes to your virtual machines setup. By default, the new virtual machine uses an IDE disk for Windows 9. Windows 9. 8, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Server 2. Net. Ware and Free. BSD guests. The default for other guest operating systems is a SCSI disk. Follow these steps to create a virtual machine using a virtual disk. Start VMware Workstation. Windows hosts Double click the VMware Workstation icon on your desktop or use the Start menu Start Programs VMware VMware Workstation. Linux hosts In a terminal window, enter the command. Note On Linux hosts, the Workstation installer adds an entry to the Start menu for VMware Workstation. However, this menu entry is located in different submenus, depending on your Linux distribution. For example. SUSE Linux 9. Start System More Programs VMware Workstation. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ASWS Release 3 Start System Tools More System Tools VMware Workstation2. If this is the first time you have launched VMware Workstation and you did not enter the serial number when you installed the product an option available on a Windows host, you are prompted to enter it. The serial number is on the registration card in your package or in the email message confirming your electronic distribution order. Enter your serial number and click OK. The serial number you enter is saved and VMware Workstation does not ask you for it again. For your convenience, VMware Workstation automatically sends the serial number to the VMware Web site when you use certain Web links built into the product for example, Help VMware on the Web Register Now Help VMware on the Web Request Support. This allows us to direct you to the correct Web page to register and get support for your product. Start the New Virtual Machine Wizard. When you start VMware Workstation, you can open an existing virtual machine or create a new one. Choose File New  Virtual Machine to begin creating your virtual machine. The New Virtual Machine Wizard presents you with a series of screens that you navigate using the Next and Prev buttons at the bottom of each screen. At each screen, follow the instructions, then click Next to proceed to the next screen. Select the method you want to use for configuring your virtual machine. If you select Typical, the wizard prompts you to specify or accept defaults for the following choices. The guest operating system. The virtual machine name and the location of the virtual machines files. The network connection type. Whether to allocate all the space for a virtual disk at the time you create it. Whether to split a virtual disk into 2. GB files. If you select Custom, you also can specify how to set up your disk create a new virtual disk, use an existing virtual disk or use a physical disk and specify the settings needed for the type of disk you select. There is also an option to create a legacy virtual disk for use in environments with other VMware products. Select Custom if you want to. Make a legacy virtual machine that is compatible with Workstation 4. GSX Server 3. x, ESX Server 2. VMware ACE 1. x. Store your virtual disks files in a particular location. Use an IDE virtual disk for a guest operating system that would otherwise have a SCSI virtual disk created by default. Use a physical disk rather than a virtual disk for expert users. Set memory options that are different from the defaults. Assign more than one virtual processor to the virtual machine. If you selected Typical as your configuration path, skip to step 7. If you selected Custom as your configuration path, you may create a virtual machine that fully supports all Workstation 5 features or a legacy virtual machine compatible with specific VMware products. This screen asks whether you want to create a Workstation 5 virtual machine or a legacy virtual machine. See Legacy Virtual Disks for more information. Select a guest operating system. This screen asks which operating system you plan to install in the virtual machine. Select both an operating system and a version. The New Virtual Machine Wizard uses this information to. Select appropriate default values, such as the amount of memory needed. Name files associated with the virtual machine. Adjust settings for optimal performance. Work around special behaviors and bugs within a guest operating system. If the operating system you plan to use is not listed, select Other for both guest operating system and version. Note Workstation supports 6. Workstation versions 5. For the list of processors Workstation supports for 6. Support for 6. 4 Bit Guest Operating Systems. Caution Do not attempt to install a 6. The remaining steps assume you plan to install a Windows XP Professional guest operating system. You can find detailed installation notes for this and other guest operating systems in the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide, available from the VMware Web site or from the Help menu. Select a name and folder for the virtual machine. The name specified here is used if you add this virtual machine to the VMware Workstation Favorites list. This name is also used as the name of the folder where the files associated with this virtual machine are stored. Each virtual machine should have its own folder. All associated files, such as the configuration file and the disk file, are placed in this folder. Windows hosts On Windows 2. Windows XP and Windows Server 2. Windows XP Professional virtual machine is C Documents and Settingslt username My DocumentsMy Virtual MachinesWindows XP Professional. On Windows NT, the default folder is C WINNTProfileslt username PersonalMy Virtual MachinesWindows XP Professional. Linux hosts The default location for this Windows XP Professional virtual machine is lt homedir vmwarewin. XPPro, where lt homedir is the home directory of the user who is currently logged on. Virtual machine performance may be slower if your virtual hard disk is on a network drive. For best performance, be sure the virtual machines folder is on a local drive. However, if other users need to access this virtual machine, you should consider placing the virtual machine files in a location that is accessible to them. For more information, see Sharing Virtual Machines with Other Users. Specify the number of processors for the virtual machine. The setting Two is supported only for host machines with at least two logical processors. Note The following are all considered to have two logical processors. A single processor host with hyperthreading enabled. A single processor host with a dual core CPU. A multiprocessor host with two CPUs, neither of which are dual core or have hyperthreading enabled. If the host does not have at least two logical processors, assigning two virtual processors is neither supported nor recommended a warning message will appear.
