7. Configure storage for the new VM.
Click Next to select the default allocation (24 GB) and configuration, or you may wish to:
a. Change the name, description or size of your virtual disk by clicking Properties.
b. Add a new virtual disk by selecting Add.
Note:
When you create a pool of XenServer hosts, as you do in the next chapter, you can configure
shared storage at this point if creating a new VM.
8. Configure networking on the new VM.
Click Next to select the default network interface card (NIC) and configurations, including an automatically-
created unique MAC address for each NIC, or you may want to:
a. Change the physical network, MAC address or quality-of-service (QoS) priority of the virtual disk by
clicking Properties.
b. Add a new virtual network interface by selecting Add.
XenServer uses the virtual network interface to connect to the physical network on the host. Be sure to
select the network that corresponds with the network the virtual machine requires. To add a physical
network, see Section 3.2, “Setting Up Networks for the Pool”
