Virtual Machine

This document provides an overview of virtualization and how to install a virtual machine. It begins by defining virtualization as running multiple virtual machines on a single hardware system, with each virtual machine able to run its own operating system simultaneously. Reasons for using virtualization include increasing hardware resource utilization, reducing costs, and allowing for testing, disaster recovery, and high availability. A virtual machine contains virtual components like a CPU, hard disk, RAM, and network adapters that emulate a physical computer. There are two main types of virtualization: host-based which uses an operating system like Windows, and bare-metal which does not require an operating system. The document concludes by outlining the step-by-step process for installing a

Introduction
Virtualization is the ability to run multiple
virtual machines on a single part of hardware.
The hardware runs software which enables you
to install multiple operating system which are
able to run simultaneously and independently,
in their own secure environment.
Virtualization allows you to run multiple
operating system in virtual machines on a
single computer. Each copy of an operating
system is installed into a virtual machine.

Why used?
The main objective of virtualization is to increased use of
hardware resource and to reduce management and resources
cost.
Time, money and energy saved
Testing and disaster recovery : Once installed, a virtual machine
and its virtual hard disks can be considered a "container" that can
be arbitrarily frozen, copied, backed up, and transported between
hosts.
High availability
It improves scalability or flexibility to the network

Virtual machine
A virtual machine is a collection of virtual hardware that creates a standard x86
or x64 PC environment that allows for the installation of a supported guest
operating system.
Virtual machine are made up of
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

virtual CPU
virtual Hard disk
RAM
virtual network Adapters
SCSI adapters, serial ports, parallel ports

etc
Todays the most well known and widely used virtualization software are
VMware
oracle virtual box
Microsoft virtual pc/Hyper-v (Microsoft os compatible
only)

Two types of virtualization


1) Host OS Based Virtualization (Type-2 Hypervisor
)
2) Bare-metal Hypervisor (Type-1 Hypervisor )
1) Host OS based virtualization
A host-based
virtualization systems requires an
operating system (such as window or
linux) to be installed on the
computer.

2) Bare-metal Hypervisor (Type-1 Hypervisor )


A bare-metal hypervisor system does
not require an operating system. The hypervisor
is the operating system.

NOTE:
Hypervisor : virtualization software
: also called virtual machine
manager is a program that allows multiple
operating system to share a single hardware
host.

Installation
Creating a Virtual Machine
Lets begin by opening VMware Workstation from the Start menu.
Alternatively, you can type, VMware in the instant search field and select
VMware Workstation from the list of programs (Figure 1).

11

Next, click File | New | Virtual Machine. A wizard appears to create a new virtual
machine as shown in Figure 2.

12

Click Next and choose how you want to load Windows 7. You can load it from installation
media (DVD) or you can use an ISO image. Here we are using ISO image (Figure 3)

13

Next, select Installer disc image file (ISO) and browse to where your Windows 7 ISO
image resides. Click Next and enter the Windows 7 product key (Figure 4).

14

Click Next, and enter a virtual machine name and choose a location for your virtual machine
to reside. You can simply accept the defaults and move forward in the installation (Figure 5).

15

Click Next and accept (Figure 6) the default disk size of 40 GB. You can increase
or decrease this size as you see fit.

16

Click Next and you can customize your virtual machine hardware prior to
beginning the Windows 7 virtual machine Operating System (OS) load (Figure 7).
For example, you can add disks, serial ports, and printers. You
can also remove unnecessary hardware such as floppy drives and sound cards
(Figure 8).

17

Click OK and Finish and Windows 7 begins to load (Figure 9). Since you entered the
product key, VMware Workstation enters an Easy Install mode. Just sit back, relax, and
a Windows 7 virtual machine is installed.
