Before you create a new virtual machine, make sure that the following resources are available:
A server pool. See Section 6.7, “How are Server Pools Created?” for information on creating server pool.
An Oracle VM Server as part of the server pool.
Source file(s) in a repository from which to create the virtual machine. The source files can be any of the following:
Imported ISO file. See Section 4.8, “How are ISO Files (CD/DVD Images) Managed?” for more information on how to import ISO files.
Virtual machine template. See Section 4.6, “How are Virtual Machine Templates Managed?” for more information on how to import a virtual machine template.
Virtual machine assembly. See Section 4.7, “How are Assemblies Managed?” for more information on how to import an assembly.
For information on how to create a virtual machine using a template, and creating a virtual machine from an ISO file, or from physical or virtual disks see Create Virtual Machine in the Oracle VM Manager User's Guide.
To access the virtual machine, select the Servers and VMs tab, select the server pool on which the virtual machine was created in the navigation tree, and select Virtual Machines in the Perspective drop-down list in the management pane. Select the virtual machine in the table to perform operations on it. Expand the virtual machine in the table to see more detailed configuration information.
