VMware, Workstation use

First, create a virtual machine

1. Things to keep in mind when creating a virtual machine

Virtual machine Creation I believe everyone will, the process is not detailed, said the following matters needing attention:

When you create a custom type configuration, the virtual machine is different from the standard type configuration:

Select virtual Machine hardware compatibility: This virtual machine can also be used by a lower version of workstation or VMware other virtualization software

Select disk: There are no "use physical disks" and "Use existing virtual disks" options in the standard options,

The use of physical disks refers to the virtual machine directly using the physical machine real hard disk, you can select an entire hard disk or a partition

Note: if the selected partition has data, it will be formatted

A virtual disk is a disk on a physical machine that creates a file to simulate the virtual machine's disks

"Specify disk Capacity" Select to store virtual disks as a single file better move virtual machines

Storage location for virtual machine disk files if not selected, the default is the same as the configuration file for the virtual machine, and for ease of use, we can also store the virtual machine disk files in one place.

2, the virtual machine configuration file

after the steps to create the virtual machine are complete and the virtual machine is not turned on at this point, let's look at the configuration file for the virtual machine: 650) this.width=650; "Src=" Http://s5.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/85/72/wKioL1ejzcSiO2PpAACx5zUKO3I454.png " Title= "Ez~zjpmh%1i3nkm@0_j{6}c.png" alt= "Wkiol1ejzcsio2ppaacx5zuko3i454.png"/>

. VMX is a virtual machine configuration and we use workstation to open a virtual machine using this file

. FLP is a floppy disk file, AUTOINST.FLP is a feature that compares the new version of Workstation:

When the new Virtual Machine Wizard detects an operating system that supports easy installation, you will be prompted to provide information about the guest operating system. After you create a virtual machine, the client operating system and VMware Tools are automatically installed when you start the virtual machines.

In general, we do not use this automatic installation, select this virtual machine--Right-click Settings--Select floppy disk--and choose to use the physical drive, you will not use the recommended installation of operating system features.

. VMDK is a virtual disk file

Newly generated files after starting the virtual machine:

. LCK lock file indicating that the virtual machine is in use

. vmem memory files for virtual machines

. NVRAM BIOS files for virtual machines

Log files for. Log virtual machines

The lck and. vmen files will disappear after the shutdown.
