You create a new VM when you need a VM with a specific configuration and a specific OS, and it is not already installed on your virtual infrastructure. When the VM is created from scratch, you can define the virtual hardware to use (CPU, RAM, or a hard disk). The default disk assigned to the VM can be removed and you can add new one, either selected from an existing disk or a new RDM device.
To create a new VM, follow this procedure:
- From the vSphere Client, access the vCenter Server and right-click a valid parent object from the inventory (it can be a datacenter, cluster, resource pool, or host), then select the New Virtual Machine option.
- From the New Virtual Machine wizard, select the Create a new virtual machine option ...
