So far this book has focused on installing VMware Server 2.0 and gaining familiarity with the VI Web Access interface. The purpose of VMware Server is, of course, the creation of one or more virtual machines running guest operating systems. The VI Web Access management interface makes this task easy through the use of a wizard interface which guides the administrator though the step by step process of configuring and creating new virtual machines.

Accessing the Create Virtual Machine Wizard

The Create Virtual Machine wizard is launched from within the VMware Infrastructure Web Access interface (for more information on accessing and logging into VI Web Access read the chapter entitled A Guided Tour of the VMware Server 2.0 Infrastructure Web Access Interface).

Once logged into the VI Web Access interface, the New Virtual Machine wizard may be invoked in a number of different ways:

  • From the Virtual Machine menu option select Create Virtual Machine
  • With the host selected in the Inventory panel, click on the New Virtual Machine link in the Commands section of the Summary or Virtual Machine page of the workspace.

When loaded, the initial screen of the wizard will appear as follows:
