Installing, Configuring and Upgrading ESX Server

www.vmware.com

If you need help determining which network adapter is associated with a

particular device name, you can use the console operating system’s findnic

command (see The VMkernel Network Card Locator on page 220).

CD-ROM drive and floppy drive: If your server contains a CD-ROM drive or

floppy drive, specify the path to the drive in the /dev directory and whether you

want the virtual machine to connect to this device when the virtual machine

powers on. A device can be connected to only one virtual machine on a server

at a time.

You may also choose to point the CD-ROM drive to an ISO disc image file and

the floppy drive to a floppy disk image file. To do so, type the path to the image

file in the appropriate Filename entry field and select File is an ISO image.

Misc.: If you want, you can change the color depth of your display using the

Remote Display Depth setting. A higher color depth setting slows down screen

redraws and increases network load when you use a remote console to view a

virtual machine across a network connection. However, with greater color depth,

you get better color resolution and fidelity. The default setting is 8. Other options

are 15, 16 or 24.

When you suspend a virtual machine, a suspended state file is created. By

default, it is saved in the virtual machine’s directory — the directory shown in

the Virtual Machine Filename field.

You may want to select a different location for better performance or to avoid

running out of space on the partition that holds the virtual machine directories.

For fastest suspend and restore operations, select VMFS Volume and choose the

appropriate VMFS volume from the drop-down list. ESX Server automatically

adds a suffix to the name of the suspended state file to ensure that one virtual

machine does not overwrite the suspended state file of another.

If you want to save the suspend file in a different directory, specify the path in

the Other location entry field.

Set the Use Debug Monitor option to No unless you are working with VMware

support to debug a specific issue.

If you want to reset the entries to the defaults, click Undo Changes.

4. When you are satisfied with the settings, click Create VM.
