Preparing to Create a New Virtual Machine You use the New Virtual Machine wizard to create a new virtual

machine in Workst ation. The wizard prompts you to make decisions about many aspects of the virtual machine. You should make these decisions before you start the New Virtual Machine wizard. Selecting a Virtual Machine Configuration When you start the New Virtual Machine wizard, the wizard prompts you to select a typical or custom configuration. Typical Configuration If you select a typical configuration, you must specify or accept defaults for a few basic virtual machine settings. n How you want to install the guest operating system. n A name for the virtual machine and a location for the virtual machine files. n The size of the virtual disk and whether to split the disk into multiple virtu al disk files. n Whether to customize specific hardware settings, including memory allocation, number of virtual processors, and network connection type. Custom Configuration You must select a custom configuration if you need to perform any of the followi ng hardware customizations. n Create a virtual machine that has a different Workstation version than the def ault hardware compatibility setting. n Select the I/O controller type for the SCSI controller. n Select the virtual disk device type. n Configure a physical disk or an existing virtual disk instead of create a new virtual disk. n Allocate all virtual disk space rather than let disk space gradually grow to t he maximum disk size. Selecting the Virtual Machine Hardware Compatibility Setting All virtual machines have a hardware version. The hardware version indicates whi ch virtual hardware features that the virtual machine supports, such as BIOS or EFI, number of virtual slots, maximum number of CPUs, maximum memory configuration, and other hardware characteristics. The virtual ma chine hardware compatibility setting determines the hardware features of the virtual machine. If you select a typical configuration, the wizard uses the default hardware comp atibility setting configured in the Workstation preferences. By default, the default hardware compatibility sett ing is the installed Workstation version. If you select a custom configuration, the New Virtual Machine wizard prompts you to select a hardware compatibility setting for the virtual machine. When you select a hardware compat ibility setting, a list of the VMware products and versions that are compatible with your selection appears. Li mitations and features that are not available for your selection are also listed. If a feature compatibility check box is available for your selection, you can select that check box to see a list of the additional limitat ions.
