VIRTUALIZATION LAB WORK

LEVEL 300 BETECH (TOP-UP)

Host

Virtual Machine 2

Virtual Environment

1. Install the VMWARE WORKSTATION software on your Laptop/PC


2. Run the software and create one virtual machines and naming them
appropriately for unique identification.
3. Allocate a minimum hard drive space of 4GB to each virtual hard drive
4. Allocate a minimum of 128MB of RAM to each hard drive
5. Opt for NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT) for the Ethernet
card configuration.
6. Install WINDOWS XP on the virtual machine
7. Perform a full clone of the first machine to create another virtual machine;
remember to give the clone a unique name
8. Configure the two virtual machines together with the host to be on the
same network.
9. Check at the network places of each machine or by pinging among the
machines to confirm connectivity.
Configuration

1. Check ‘Computer name’ for possible duplication should you clone any
of the virtual machines.
2. Make sure the virtual machines and the host are all in the same
workgroup
3. Configure the IP addresses of the Ethernet cards on the two virtual
machines together with one VIRTUAL Ethernet card on the host to be on
the same network. E.g. x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2, x.x.x.3 ……..
4. Disable the firewalls on both the virtual machines and the
corresponding virtual Ethernet cards on the host.
5. Change the Ethernet card settings from NAT to HOST_ONLY (can only
be done when virtual machine is shut down)

Checking for communication

1. Verify from ‘network places’ on both the host and the virtual machines if
all machines are present (2 virtual machines and the host)
2. Ping all the allocated IP address from both the host and the virtual
machines to ensure communication among the machines.
