Administration Guide
The Add Virtual Machine wizard guides you through the basic steps to create a virtual machine on your server. Any user who has an account on the server’s service console may log in to the wizard and create a virtual machine. If you are logged in as root, you might want to log out and log in again as a user authorized to manage the new virtual machine. NOTE
Check for any VMkernel ALERT messages in the warning log files before creating a new virtual machine.
