CHAPTER 4 Running Virtual Machines
117
Advanced Virtual Machine Settings
You cannot specify process priorities for the virtual machine. For more information,
see Adjusting Priorities for Virtual Machine Processes (Windows Hosts Only) in the
VMware GSX Server Administration Guide.
If the virtual machine uses physical (raw) disks and is on an older server, you can hide
read-only partitions so the virtual machine can see only partitions to which it can
write data. You cannot do this if the virtual machine is running on a GSX Server 3 host.
Virtual Sound Adapter
You can add a virtual sound adapter to a virtual machine on an older host, but you
cannot configure it.
If a legacy virtual machine is running on a GSX Server 3 host, it can use only the
default host sound adapter. The sound adapter does not work when you connect to
this virtual machine from a remote client.
Virtual Machine Display
You can configure the display depth for a virtual machine on an older host.
You cannot configure the display depth for a legacy virtual machine on a current host.
Product Messages
Messages that the console displays are based on the version of the server to which
you are connecting. References to menu items, interface elements and product
terminology are relevant to that server type and version, not necessarily to the current
version of GSX Server.
Entering the Serial Number
You cannot enter the serial number for an older host.
Viewing the Tip of the Day
You cannot view the tip of the day when you are connected to an older host.
