Creating your own virtual machine
There are situations where you want to have a system on which you can manage by yourself as 'root' to install and test software. In such cases a virtual machine is a good idea. To start 'vmplayer' on an ISG-managed Linux client proceed as followed:
In '/scratch' create a directory <username>
Download a virtual machine image to '/scratch/<username>'
- Ttype following command on the console:
$ vmplayer
- In the upcoming window klick "Create a New Virtual Machine" and use the virtual machine image, which you have downloaded before.
- Make reasonable settings concerning RAM, CPU and Disk (dependend on your machine's hardware setup):
RAM: min. -> 1-2 GB max. -> 50% of the RAM of your machine CPU: min. -> 1-2 max. -> 50% of the CPUs of your machine Disk: reasonable percentage of your machine's disk (which is '/scratch' by the way)
