= Running the virtual machine wizard to create a virtual machine
|
|
|
|
The web console features an interactive wizard that guides you through *General*, *Networking*, *Storage*, *Advanced*, and *Review* steps to simplify the process of creating virtual machines. All required fields are marked by a `*`. When the required fields are completed, you can review and create your virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
Network interface cards (NICs) and storage disks can be created and attached to virtual machines after they have been created.
|
|
|
|
.*Bootable Disk*
|
|
|
|
If either `URL` or `Container` are selected as the *Source* in the *General* step, a `rootdisk` disk is created and attached to the virtual machine as the *Bootable Disk*. You can modify the `rootdisk` but you cannot remove it.
|
|
|
|
A *Bootable Disk* is not required for virtual machines provisioned from a *PXE* source if there are no disks attached to the virtual machine. If one or more disks are attached to the virtual machine, you must select one as the *Bootable Disk*.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* When you create your virtual machine using the wizard, your virtual machine's storage medium must support Read-Write-Many (RWX) PVCs.

.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Click *Workloads* -> *Virtualization* from the side menu.

|
|
. Click *Next* to progress to the *Storage* screen.
|
|
.. (Optional) Click *Add Disk* to create additional disks. These disks can be removed by clicking the Options menu {kebab} and selecting *Delete*.
|
|
.. (Optional) Click the Options menu {kebab} to edit the disk and save your changes.
|
