Lab 1: Create a Virtual Machine
In this lab we create a virtual machine using a downloaded ISO of Lubuntu Linux. We will work through the various hardware settings that you will need to set prior to your installation. Once the operating system is installed, we will make adjustments to the virtual machine hardware. |
|
Lab 2: Virtual Machine Files and Snapshots
In this lab we will explore how the storage of a virtual machine functions and how to save the state of a virtual machine by creating snapshots. |
|
Lab 3: Virtual Machine Cloning and Backups
In this lab we will create both linked and full type clones of a virtual machine and examine the differences between the two clone types. Next, we will show methods for exporting a virtual machine to a format that makes it easy to transport. |
|
Lab 4: Virtual Machine Networking
In this lab we will look at the network capabilities of workstation. We will explore how to use and setup network types similar to those found in many real-world scenarios. The network capabilities are very beneficial for development and testing of software and applications, such as limiting bandwidth or causing packet loss scenarios. |
