ABSTRACT
Th e basic guidelines of creating virtual machines in VMware ESX Server do not diff er much from those of VMware GSX Server or even Microsoft’s Virtual Server. However, management of virtual machines is where this Enterprise version of VMware’s technology really shines. Th e overhead used by the Linux-based host operating system (also known as a Hypervisor) is far less that its GSX Server predecessor. Keep in mind that ESX Server can host up to 80 virtual machines at a time and requires a minimum of two processors. Here are the details of creating a virtual machine under VMware ESX Server 2.5.2.
