Create a Test VM

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, select O&M Management > Migration Tasks > All Tasks.
2. On the All Tasks page, select the target migration task, and then click Actions > Test > Create Test VM.
3. In the Create Test VM dialog, configure the following options:

   Option	Description
   CPU	Set the number of CPU cores for the VM.
   Memory	Set the memory size for the VM.
   Network	Select the distributed port group that the VM will use.
   CIDR	If DHCP is enabled on the selected network, select an available CIDR.
   IPv4 Address	Specify an IPv4 address for the test VM. If DHCP is enabled on the network, select or specify an available address in the address selector. If DHCP is disabled on the network, enter the IPv4 address manually. If address ranges are configured for the network, the specified address must be within an available range.
   Subnet Mask and Default Gateway	If DHCP is disabled on the network, verify and enter the subnet mask and default gateway.
   System Conversion Policy	Specify the system conversion policy to apply before the VM starts.
   Data Recovery Point	Use a snapshot or copy from a specific point in time to test VM recovery.

   When you configure System Conversion Policy, select one of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Perform System Conversion	Performs a full system conversion, including: driver replacement/injection, network adapter name and IP address configuration for the target VM, and post-script execution.
   Perform System Conversion Without Loading Target Drivers	Skips driver replacement. Only configures the target VM's network adapter name and IP address, and executes post-scripts.
   Skip System Conversion	No driver replacement, no network configuration (adapter name/IP address), and no post-script execution. You will need to log in to the target VM and manually perform these configurations.

4. Review the configuration and click OK.
