VM installation procedure record

VM Installation Steps record some time ago, the machine room was too crowded and tried to use the virtual machine instead of the physical machine. Now we will record the installation steps using the tool www.2cto.com 1. one dell Server 2. one VMesxi5.0 and one VIM Setup dial each 3. windows2003 (burned installation disk) and windowsXP (IOS)
Installation Steps: 1. first, install VMesxi5.0 on the server (there was no operating system on the server before). The installation procedure is very simple, that is, keep going to the next step. I don't need to install a boot disk on the dell server. after the installation is complete, the system automatically restarts. After the installation is complete, press F2 to set up the IP address, NDS, and other network configurations. use VIM Setup on your machine to install the VMware vSphere Client, and then use the VMware vSphere Client to connect to the server you just installed and create a new Virtual Machine (the memory is larger, the CPU doesn't matter, if necessary, you can first create a data connection pool and then create a new virtual machine), then install windows2003 and limit the IP number 4. use VMware vSphere Client to disconnect the physical machine, connect to the newly created virtual machine, and then create a new virtual working machine (here we can upload the ios file to the physical server to greatly improve the installation speed, if the sub-Configuration Systems of the following machines are identical, you can directly copy a template and generate a virtual machine. You do not need to install the operating system repeatedly.) Performance Improvement: 1. tool 2 must be installed. it is recommended to use solid state disks (the performance is greatly improved after experiments. we recommend that you use the connection pool (hardware will be automatically allocated to make the hardware more balanced)
