VMware Workstation Creating a virtual machine console

1. Creating virtual machine hardware using VMware Workstation

The first step in using VMware Workstation to create a virtual machine is to configure the hardware for the virtual machine.
Hardware configuration includes processor, memory, disk, network, disk interface, operating system, other peripheral machine interface, such as USB, sound card, graphics card, printer, etc.
External devices can be deleted, or multiple can be added.

This blog, between the host PC 16G memory 8 core processor, so the custom virtual machine is as follows:
Virtual machine Name: Console
Virtual machine configuration: 4-core 8g,20g system disk, 100G data disk, 2 NICs, no other external devices. Installing the CENTOS6.5_X86_64 operating system

The process of creating a virtual machine is relatively simple, in order to avoid multiple graphs with text descriptions as follows:

1. 菜单栏，文件，新建虚拟机，在“新建虚拟机向导”图示中，选择“自定义”，点击【下一步】2. 在“虚拟机硬件兼容性”图示中，默认，点击【下一步】3. 在“安装客户机操作系统“图示中，选择【稍后安装操作系统】，点击【下一步】4. 在”选择客户机操作系统”图示中，选择【Linux】，版本选择【CentOS 6 64位】，点击下一步5. 在”命名虚拟机“图示中，指定虚拟机名称，指定虚拟机存放位置，点击下一步6. 在”处理器配置“图示中，选择处理器数量2，每个处理器内核数量2，点击下一步7. 在”此虚拟机的内存“图示中，指定虚拟机内存为8G，点击下一步8. 在”网络类型”图示中，选择默认的【使用网络地址转换】，点击下一步9. 在“选择I/O控制器类型”图示中，选择默认推荐的LSI，点击下一步10. 在“选择磁盘类型”图示中，选择推荐的SCSI，点击下一步11. 在“选择磁盘”图示中，选择【创建新虚拟磁盘】，点击下一步12. 在“指定磁盘容量”图示中，指定磁盘大小为20G，选择【将磁盘存储为单个文件】，点击下一步13. 在“指定磁盘文件”图示中，命名磁盘名称和存放位置，点击下一步14. 在“已准备好创建虚拟机”图示中，点击【自定义硬件】，进行虚拟机的硬件自定义15. 点击【处理器】，勾选“虚拟化引擎”的三个选项16. 点击【网络适配器】，点击【高级】，进行MAC地址配置17. 点击【USB控制器】，点击【移除】，删掉USB设备18. 点击【声卡】，点击【移除】，删掉声卡设备19. 点击【打印机】，点击【移除】，移除打印机20. 点击【添加】，点击【网络适配器】，点击【完成】，增加一块网卡21. 点击新增加的网卡，点击【自定义】指定该网卡使用VMnet1(仅主机模式)，点击【高级】，进行MAC地址配置22. 点击完成

After customizing the hardware of the virtual machine, there are different properties for different hardware, you can set the hardware before the operating system is installed, such as configuring the MAC address of the network card, configuring the SCSI channel number of the disk, etc.

2. Install the operating system

During the process of configuring hardware (compute resources) for a virtual machine, the process of installing the operating system is skipped. You can install the operating system for the virtual machine by configuring the CDROM for the virtual machine.
The CDROM of the virtual machine can be loaded into the system image file, or a physical optical drive can be used to directly read the system CD for operating system installation. Here you install the operating system by using the virtual machine to open the virtual machine image file.
this blog will minimize the installation of the Linux operating system centos6.5_x86_64
As mentioned above, when installing the operating system, you need to load the system image through the CDROM of the virtual machine and then power on.

Note whether the status of Cd/rom is "connected at startup"

3. Operating system Installation process

Operating system CentOS6.5 installation process is also very simple, graphical operation. This section mainly describes the installation process of the operating system.
Also, to avoid multiple graphs, use literal descriptions.

An interesting phenomenon:
When the allocated virtual machine memory is not sufficient for an image installation, the virtual opportunity initiates a textual installation. such as allocating 512M of memory to a virtual machine, and allocating 1G of memory to the virtual machine, is different on installing the operating system interface.
Because this blog is based on 8G of memory, it appears to be an image-based installation.

1. [Disc Found],检查磁盘，这一步选择【Skip】跳过2. [Unsupported Hardware Detected]，硬件兼容性提示，这一步选择【OK】继续3. 安装语言，选择【中文（简体）】，下一步4. 安装键盘类型，选择【美国英语式】，下一步5. 设备类型，选择【基础存储设备】，出现的警告中，选择【是，忽略所有数据】，下一步6. 命名主机名为console,点击配置网络7. 编辑“System eth0“，【连接名称】改为eth0,勾选”自动连接“，点击【IPv4设置】，方法选【手动】，配置地址为192.168.80.8，子网掩码24，网关为192.168.80.2，DNS为192.168.80.2，点击【应用】8. 编辑“System eth1“，【连接名称】改为eth1，勾选”自动连接“，点击【IPv4设置】，方法选【手动】，配置地址为192.168.10.8，子网掩码24，其他不再配置，点击【应用】9. 配置好主机名和网络，点击一下步，进入时间配置。时区选择”亚洲/上海“，勾选掉“系统使用UTC时间”，然后点击下一步10. 设置超级用户（根用户）密码，验证之后，点击下一步11. 磁盘分区，默认【替换现有Linux系统】，勾选【查看并修改分区布局】，进行手动分区12. 手动分区完成后，开始定制软件包。勾选【Minimal】，进行最小化安装。最小化安装也可以定制软件包，点击【现在自定义】即刻定制13. 点击【下一步】，开始操作系统安装，共327个软件包，包括中文语言包。

In the above process, custom disk partition, custom package, difficult, mainly beginners are not clear how to choose. If you don't know how to choose, the default choice is right.
At this point, the installation of the operating system has ended.
