Step 3: Edit Settings

The following describes the procedures for editing Virtual Machine settings.

Note: Depending upon the ESX Server and vSphere Client version, the below steps may vary.

1. Start vSphere Client and log into VCenter.

2. Go to Virtual Machines and the VM you just created. Then right click to edit its settings.

3. Edit the virtual machine options.

   2 Hard Disks (8GB and 100GB) should be listed.

   Review the CPU count and memory.

   • CPUs: Modify the Number of virtual processors field. See the Requirements section to determine the setting required.

   • Memory: Modify the Memory Size field as necessary. See the Requirements section to determine the setting required.

   Edit Network Adapters.

   • Network adapter 1 (Management interface (port1)): Select the VLAN or Network from the Network label drop-down matching Port1 from the previous step. Important: Ensure MAC address is set to static.

   • Network adapter 2 (Isolation interface (port2)):

     • Select the VLAN or Network from the Network label drop-down matching Port2 from the previous step. Important: Ensure MAC address is set to static.

     • Note: In a Layer 2 environment, isolation VLANs are tagged to the port2 interface (Network Adapter 2). For all VLANS tagged to a single interface you must create a port with a VLAN ID of 4095 in VMware ESX. In ESX this is known as Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT).

4. Remove network adapters 3 - 6 by deleting them, not just disconnecting them.

5. Click Save.
