To create a new virtual machine, follow the procedure outlined in the DAE Configuration Instructions.

To import a new virtual machine, follow the procedure outlined in the DAE Configuration Instructions.

You can modify several VM attributes after creating the VM, or importing the VM image. To edit the settings:

1. In the Virtual Machine Name column, click the virtual machine.
2. Click Edit.... A new page appears displaying the virtual machine parameters.

3. Modify the selected virtual machine's parameters for any of the following:

   Parameter	Description
   Virtual Machine RAM	This option allows you to change the RAM settings from what was configured previously.
   Virtual Machine CPUs	This option allows you to change the CPU settings from what was configured previously.
   Autostart	This option allows you to set the VM to start automatically after a server reboot. Note: Only one VM may be set to autostart; if another VM is currently set to autostart, you must first deselect the autostart option for the VM with autostart currently set, then set it to autostart on another VM.
   File Systems	Select the file systems that can be accessed via the SAN Client installed in the VM.
   Application Ports	Select the ports you want to dedicate to the VM. Once ports are selected , those ports are unavailable on the Configuration > System page of the system.
   Metadata Bridge	This option is available when you configure it on the Configuration > System page.
   NAS Bridge	This option is available when you configure it on the Configuration >System page.
   Attach USB Devices	If the virtual machine is powered on, you can select which USB devices currently attached to the system will be available to the VM.
   Attach Quantum Utility CD	When a VM is created or imported, the virtual CD that contains the StorNext Client installers and Virtio drivers is mounted and mapped to a CD drive in the VM when it is started up. If the virtual CD is no longer needed by the VM, you can detach it so that it is no longer available to the VM.
   Update VNC Password	This option allows you to update or remove the password used to access the VM with a VNC viewer.
