Microsoft Hyper-V - Basic

Both the Basic Wizard panel in the Virtual Guest Job wizard and the Basic panel in the Virtual Guest Package editor lets you select the virtual machine (VM) configuration and OS settings appropriate for the new VM. If the package is based on a template, this panel is read-only, with the exception of Virtual Guest Name.

Under General Settings, specify the following:

• Virtual Guest Name—Enter a name for the VM.
• Virtual Guest Description—Optionally enter a short description of the VM.
• Virtual Guest Storage—Browse to select storage to allocate to the VM.
• Source Template—This read-only field is displayed only if you have selected a template as the base for the VM.
• Virtual Guest Operating System—Select an OS for the VM from the drop-down list. This field is read-only if you have selected a template as the base for the VM.
• Number of CPU Sockets—Select the number of physical CPUs that are available to the VM.
• Cores Per Socket—Select the number of processors within the physical CPU chip that are available to the VM.
• Total Cores—This read-only field displays the total number of CPU sockets and cores per socket. For example, if you selected two CPU sockets and two cores per socket, then this field displays a value of 4.
• Memory (MB)—Select the amount of memory that is available for the VM.
• Power On VM after Creation—Automatically starts the new VM.
• Auto boot on host reboot—Automatically starts the VM if the host server is rebooted.
• Customize OS—Select this check box if you want to specify settings for the VM OS. This field is displayed only if you have selected a template as the base for the VM. You specify the settings on two subsequent wizard panels: the Basic Config panel for Windows and the Computer Settings panel.
