Creating a virtual machine
There are several ways in which you can create a new virtual machine, such as:
Deploying a virtual machine from a template
Cloning another virtual machine
Using VMware vCenter Converter to convert a physical computer to a virtual machine (P2V)
Building a new virtual machine from scratch using traditional methods such as an installation CD-ROM or ISO file to install the operating system
To create a new virtual machine using PowerCLI, you have to use the New-VM cmdlet. The New-VM cmdlet has the following syntax containing four parameter sets.
The default parameter set is shown in the following command line:
New-VM [-AdvancedOption <AdvancedOption[]>] [[-VMHost] <VMHost>] [-Version <VMVersion>] -Name <String> [-ResourcePool <VIContainer>] [-VApp <VApp>] [-Location <Folder>] [-Datastore <StorageResource>] [-DiskMB <Int64[]>] [-DiskGB <Decimal[]>] [-DiskPath <String[]>] [-DiskStorageFormat <VirtualDiskStorageFormat...
