Creating a virtual machine

This is the ESXi 7 interface. It is actually very easy to create a new virtual machine on ESXi 7. Go to the Virtual Machines area as above and click the Create / Register VM button.

Select creation type

This button will bring up an interface for creating a VM. You will have three different options. Detailed descriptions of the options are below;

  • Create a new virtual machine: If you do not have a pre-configured VM file and you want to create a new one, you need to select this option. We will also proceed with this step.
  • Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file: If you have an OVF or OVA (pre-configured VM) file ready and want to deploy it immediately, you can choose this option.
  • Register an existing virtual machine: If you have a machine that does not appear in Datastore in the Virtual Machines section, you can add it manually by proceeding with this option.

In this step, we choose a name for our virtual machine. Then select the last option in the Compatibility field. You should also choose the operating system and version in the Guest OS family and Guest OS version fields, respectively. As you are done with your selections, click “Next”.
