When you install the OS in a virtual machine like I do it here, then you should be able to select the downloaded ISO file as source for the CD/DVD drive in VMWare and Virtualbox without burning it on CD first. Insert your Ubuntu install CD into your system and boot from it. Next step is about the Ubuntu Server installation.In this tutorial, I use the hostname with the IP address 192.168.1.100 and the gateway 192.168.1.1 These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
In a final screen the wizard shows the main settings before amending changes.Īt this point everything is ready to commit the information and complete the wizard.
This is the part where the wizard allows to further customize the virtual machine. In this example Ubuntu Linux (64-Bit) perfectly covers this scenario. This is the step where both the Guest OS Family and Version needs to be specified. In the compatibility section unless there are specific requirements to support older versions of the virtual hardware (which also comes with less features) it is a safe option to use the latest release available which will automatically create and stamp the “vmx” file to support the latest features on the vSphere Hosts. Next is the desired Datastore where to deploy the virtual machine disks and resources files. It can be used for CPU, Storage and Network migration from the same wizard. Of course this can be changed later if required with a simple vMotion migration.
Next step is to associate the vSphere Host to the virtual machine. In the second step of the wizard the desired name for the VM and the location in the VMware vCenter virtual infrastructure where to locate the virtual machine. This wizard will be used in two occasions: to create and customize the base Ubuntu Server virtual machine and also to export the VM into a vApp in a OVA/OVF format template. Within the Data Center group or from the desired VMware vSphere Host the wizard to create a new virtual machine.

How to deploy Ubuntu Server on VMware vSphere Possible the closest to the VMware Host where the Ubuntu Server VM will run. Your mileage may vary! Before starting, it is a good time to start uploading the Ubuntu Server ISO image on the VMware Datastore. In general, the idea is to create something small and light which could be used as a building block for other applications. The OS version is based on 64-Bit release. In this sample a VM with 2 CPUs, 4 GB of RAM Memory and 2 virtual disks of 20 GB each is more than sufficient to satisfy the requirements highlighted above. Starting with the deployment phase it consists in creating the VM Guest container. Once the ISO image has been downloaded the steps are straight forward. The way the guide is laid out follows the classic structure used in this blog showing different steps.
