With regard to the VMware Workstation Pro virtual machine creation tutorial, this tutorial mainly describes in detail the steps in the process of building a virtual system using the software VMware Workstation Pro, as well as solutions to some of the problems encountered during personal installation.

VMware Workstation virtual machine is a simulator using virtualization technology.

I. description of the operating environment

Hardware: Lenovo Xiaoxin v4000 notebook

Software: VMware Workstation Pro version 12

Centos 6.5.iso Mirror

Second, creation steps

1. Click create Virtual Machine to enter the New Virtual Machine creation Wizard

1) typical: default configuration installation

2) Custom (advanced): you can meet the performance and compatibility requirements such as the features you need when you choose to create them.

two。 Select virtual machine compatibility

Virtual machine hardware compatibility can be compatible with different versions of VMware Workstation, by default

3. Install the client operating system

Installation source: the system image source required to install the virtual machine

Installer CD: Lenovo Xiaoxin v4000 does not have a CD-ROM drive, so no drive is available

Installer CD image: select the required installation iso file location from the local hard drive

Install later: the created virtual machine contains a blank hard disk. Do not install the system for the time being.

4. Select client operating system

According to the actual demand, the virtual machine will automatically virtual the corresponding configuration according to the selected system type.

This installation is CentOS 6.5. For Linux systems, select Centos 6 64-bit

However, if this option is not available, because CentOS is the community version of RHEL, you can choose the corresponding version.

5. Named virtual machine

1) name of the virtual machine: the label name of the virtual machine

2) location: installation path (the virtual machine represents the hard disk in files in the client storage location)

Disk p_w_picpath file mechanism: disk image file à uses a file as a hard disk

6. Processor configuration

The virtual machine can virtualize the number of different processors and the number of cores per processor, which can be different from the client. However, it is best that the total number of processor cores should not exceed the number of client cores, otherwise the system performance will be affected.

7. Memory Settin

The virtual machine can dynamically and automatically recognize the recommended allocated memory and can change it manually.

8. Network connection selection

1) bridged Network: Bridged network

A mechanism for communicating with external networks with the help of physical device network cards

Notebooks generally have wireless network cards and wired network cards, and you can choose bridged network cards.

2) Host mode only: Host- Only

Through the virtual switch (virtual network card) to achieve communication between virtual machines, can not communicate with host

Virtual switch (virtual network card) different physical host network cards are connected

3) NAT mode: Network Address Translation

Network address translation to realize the connection between virtual network card and physical network card, and to communicate with external hosts (host host, other host)

9. Icano controller selection (default is available)

10. Disk type selection

11. Disk selection (default)

twelve。 Manage disk

1) the virtual machine adopts Sparse (sparse) format and dynamically changes the size occupied when it is used. The actual size after the initial installation is 3.2GB.

100GB is a virtual space. When the Allocate all disk space now option is not checked, the physical space is not immediately divided.

2) Storage the virtual disk as a single file: facilitate the migration of the virtual system

3) when selecting multiple files: for example, the FAT32 file system does not support a single file size larger than 4G, and the created virtual machine needs to store more than 4G content. Select multiple files.

13. Specify disk file

Here, the storage location of disk files is generally considered to be sufficient at a later stage to prevent overflow caused by increasing system size.

14. Custom hardware

Here you can customize the hardware, such as adding hard drives, network cards, etc., and delete unnecessary virtual hardware devices.

Click finish, end of creation, and then you can install the system

Third, creation is a summary of problems.

1. Virtual hardware configuration needs to be modified after creating deflection

Select "Edit Virtual Machine Settings" on the z main interface to add / remove, you can change the required configuration, such as: add hard disk, network card, modify virtual memory size, network connection mode, etc.

two。 Virtual machine cannot enable virtual function solution of CPU

The error is shown in the following figure:

[resolution steps]

1) first, check whether the physical CPU supports hardware virtualization.

2) restart the computer to see if it is because the system did not load the configuration after installing the virtual machine

3) CPU itself supports hardware virtualization, but BIOS disables this feature and does not load the boot.

-> restart the computer and start BIOS on the boot LOGO screen: this experimental machine Fn+F2

-> move to the cursor to Configuration

-> move the up and down arrow to the Intel Virtual Technology line and change it to Enable

-- > Save and restart your computer
