Lab 1 ~Introduction to Virtualization & VMware~

Assalamualaikum w.b.t...

First lab kiteorg lak encek ajr Introduction to Virtualization & VMware. Mcmmane care2 nk install VMware lor bih kureng.. errmmm.... mstue kan aku ngntuk giler lam lab... sbb x cukup tdo.. coz mlm tue aku duk prepare nk present Project Management.. so msk lab pn ntah aper2 laaa..... layan ajer la encekk!....

Antare yg kiteorg blajar la nie... aku pn x konpem sbb x braper nk pay attention sgt... kepale da gelongg daa... Antare objektif yg perlu dicapai lam lab nie...

• Understand What is Virtualization
• Install VMware Workstation
• Understand the VMware Workstation Configuration
• Creating disk image on VMware Workstation
• Installing Windows Server 2003 on disk image

Virtualization
Hardware was the first part to be designed in a computer system. It is followed by the software part. Each hardware was specially designed with its own instruction set and developed with its own specific software. In the early days, this was enough to
cater for a small community where file sharing and softwaredistribution are not widely practiced. As time goes by, more and more computers are use and each of them are connected to one another, thus making rewriting and distributing software that are compatible to the hardware a major burden.The need of software that is compatible with any hardware becomes an important consideration in developing a new computer system. This can be achieved by producing hardware that has a
standard feature. One way to achieve this is by defining and controlling the interface between hardware and software. This is where the concept of Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) was introduced.

Virtual Machine
Virtual machine (VM) is defined as an efficient and isolated duplicate of a real machine. This environment is created by using Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) which provides a second layer on a machine for another operating system to run on it. VMM reproduces everything from the CPU instruction to the I/O devices in software
of operating system which it run on. Virtualization in VM involves mapping of virtual resources, for example, the register and memory to real hardware resources and it also use the host machine instruction to carry out the actions specified by VMM. This is done by emulating the host ISA.

Below is the step how to install VMware Workstation.. hmm.. ikut jer la step2 nie...

VMware Workstation Installation
VMware Workstation Can be Downloaded from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/

1. Double Click on the VMware launcher to start the installation Wizards.

2. Click on [Next].

3. Choose Typical setup type
4. Choose the location for VMware Workstation installation,example: C:\Program Files\WMware\VMware Workstation\,Click on [Next].

5. Configure the shortcuts for the VMware Workstation and click [Next].
6. Click on [Install], this will take several minutes to finish.

7. Enter the Serial Number for the VMware workstation.

8. Click [Finish], and restart the Computer.

Creating Disk Image
1. From the home tab click on [New Virtual Machine], to open the virtual machine wizard

2. Click [Next] to continue.
3. Choose the typical configuration, click [Next]
4. Choose the type of OS to be installed on the virtual machine. As the next task the virtual machine will be installed with Windows Server 2003, select [Microsoft
Windows] as the guest. In the version list, select Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Click [Next].

5. Name the virtual machine and specify the location where the disk image for the virtual machine will be stored in the hard disk. Name the virtual machine as winserv03.

6. For the network type select [Use host-only Networking], this selection will create LAN between the other virtual machine.In order to make the virtual machine connected to the real network select [Use bridged networking]. This setting can be
changed once the virtual machine is created. Click [Next].

7. Specify the disk capacity of the virtual machine. This option will let user to specify the maximum storage capacity of the virtual machine. Initially the size of the disk image you created is small and as you installed your virtual machine
with OS and other software, the size will increase up to the storage capacity set in this configuration. In this task set the storage capacity between 2GB to 4GB (Depends on the size of your PC). Select [Allocate disk space now] and click
[Finish] to start creating your virtual machine. This will take
several minutes.

8. Once your disk image that holds you virtual machine is created you will see figure 1.14. Click [Close]

Get to know the virtual machine console
Once the virtual machine is created, the tab will contain the home and summary view of winserv03 virtual machine configuration.

Installing Windows Server 2003 on virtual machine.
1. Place the Windows Server 2003 installer CD in your cdrom drive
2. From the command menu click on [start the virtual machine] or you can click on the start button on the toolbar, your virtual machine is starting and will be booting from your cdrom drive.

3. Once the winserv03 booting you will see the familiar windows server 2003 installation page, from this point onward you can follow the windows server 2003 installation step.
4. After the installation process is finish, you will see the windows server 2003 login page.

5. Click on the console to start using the windows server 2003,to get the mouse pointer back to your host desktop, type CTRL + ALT on the keyboard.
