7 Creating a Virtual Machine
Microsoft Hyper-V enables the creation of Virtual Machines on top of a host
computer running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64. Microsoft System Center
VMM allows the use of Microsoft Hyper-V software to create Virtual Machines with
configurations based on user requirements.
For a detailed description on how to create Virtual Machines via VMM, refer to the
appropriate Microsoft documentation. This section describes the additional steps
needed to create a Virtual Machine on a Fibre Channel SAN LUN presented to a
virtual adapter port.
To create a SAN migration-capable Virtual Machine hosted on the LUN presented
via a virtual adapter port, do the following:
1. In the VMM Actions pane, click New virtual machine to begin the creation
of a Virtual Machine.
2. Select the source of the new VM by clicking Create the new virtual
machine with a blank virtual hard disk.
3. Enter the VM name.
4. Choose an existing Virtual Machine template/Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) or a
blank VHD.
5. Click Next until the Select Destination dialog box displays. Ensure that the
Place Virtual Machine on host button is selected.
