2 Select a content library and click the Templates tab.
3 Right-click a VM Template and select New VM from This Template.
The New Virtual Machine from Content Library wizard opens.
4 On the Select a name and folder page, enter a name and select a location for the virtual machine.
5 On the Select a compute resource page, select a host, a cluster, a resource pool, or a vApp where
to run the deployed VM template, and click Next.
Important If the template that you deploy has an has an NVDIMM device and virtual PMem hard
disks, the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resource. Otherwise, you cannot
proceed with the task.
If the template that you deploy does not have an NVDIMM device, but it has virtual PMem hard disks,
the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resource. Otherwise, all the hard disks of
the virtual machine will use the storage policy and datastore selected for the configuration files of the
source template.
