Create Your First Virtual System / Activities for Chapter 2

1) Skip Activity 2-1 Activity 2-2 and Activity 2-3.  Instead, follow the instructions for Creating a New System in the “Using the VMWare Cluster” with the following tweaks:

- On step 7 (Select a name)

  - You may use any names you wish, but the book recommends putting _GNOME at the end of the first system  and _KDE at the end of a second system.  This may help you to identify which is which easier.

- On step 10 (Select guest OS)

  - Select Linux as the Guest Operating System
  - Select SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (32-bit) as the version

- On step 11 (Configure the system)

  - Select your “main net” as the network (for NIC 1, the only NIC)
  - “VMXNET 3” is fine for the adapter

- On step 13 (Before you power on)

  - Click on the Browse… button
  - Click on ISO_Store, then Resources, then Linux-ISOs
  - Optional: You can slide the line between Name and File Size to see the whole names of files better
  - Select openSUSE-11.2-DVD.iso
  - Press Open

- VMWare may make suggestions on where to put the files, if so just go ahead and Apply Recommendations if
- On step 14,

  - Make sure to check the “Connect at power on” option

- Repeat these steps to create a second system (the first one will be installed with GNOME, the second one with KDE).

2) Complete Activity 2-4 (on page 30) with the following changes:

- Right click on the first created system and click on “Open Console”

  - You can see the console from the tab interface, but I find a separate window easier

- Press the green triangle (aka the play button) to boot your system
- Continue with step 4 in Activity 2-4
- Use your second system to repeat the process (as listed on step 13 of Activity 2-4)

3) Complete Activity 2-5 with the following changes:

- Use vSphere Client and “Open Console” instead of VMWare Player
- Use your first system that you created

4) Complete Activity 2-6 with the following changes:

- Use vSphere Client and “Open Console” instead of VMWare Player
- Use your second system that you created

There is nothing to turn in for the activities in chapter 2
