After you create a virtual machine, you must install a guest operating system.
Prerequisites
- For the list of supported guest operating systems, see the VMware Knowledge Base (KB) articles https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78714 and https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78715.
- Verify that an ISO image file of the guest operating system is on a datastore on your ESXi server.
- Verify that the CD/DVD drive in the virtual machine points to the ISO image file of the guest operating system and that the CD/DVD drive is configured to connect at power on.
Procedure
