How to use VMware Workstation to do virtualization experiments

?

Objective

The previous use of Vmare was just a simple experiment, but with the advent of virtualization now, we started to start experimenting with virtualization.

We see some Windows 2012 books that use Hyper-V to experiment with, but Hyper-V can only do some experiments on dhcp,dns, AD, because Hyper-V does not support nesting virtualization in virtualization, so it is impossible to use virtualization experiments. So we're going to use VMware to do the virtualization experiment.

Create and set up a new virtual machine

First we create a clean virtual machine, because I use win2012, so demo create win2012 template, and patch all to the latest, and then open Remote Desktop, in order to wait for other machines to connect, turn off the ping in the firewall

Turn on the ping function, so that the future of the template machine in case there is a need to ping needs not to open another

Open remote connection, can be directly connected to the virtual machine in the future, after all, it is more convenient than to use the workstation point to point

Patch all update, no need to build a new machine in the future to be updated separately, save time

Resetting a virtual machine

Do a Sysprep on the machine and make the machine into a new machine

For the unknown Sysprep new system administrator please see the following Baidu Link:

Simply put, we have a new computer outside, they are all factory software is pre-installed, and then after the Sysprep to your hands and the new computer, you have to re-enter your user name. The machine SSID created by this method is different.

Create a Snapshot

The purpose of the snapshot is to replicate this point's data to the newly created virtual machine.

Cloning a virtual machine

With the above settings, we will later need to use the win2012 system, cloning our template machine

Select Snapshot

Link cloning, need less space, if you are on the SSD to do experiments, after all, ordinary hard disk speed, SSD speed but small capacity, not everyone is willing to use SSDs to do the experiment, I myself is 3 1t black disk made RAID0

Create complete

To open a new virtual machine

OK now open the new virtual machine, the SSID will not be duplicated, and will not affect the domain

We look at the file because it is a link clone that takes up less space

Setting up a virtualized server

But when we need to do a virtualization experiment, we just shut down and set up Hyper-V, and then we can turn this machine on for virtualization and then create a virtual machine inside the VM.
