Creating virtual machine and this lesson we will create our first virtual machine and on which we will
be installing our sento us Linux operating system but Worsham machine is basically nothing but a shell
container which holds the information off machine C.P. memory disk and all the resources.
This virtual machine is going to be sharing the resources wherever it is installed.
So let's see if it is install on my laptop.
It will be sharing the resources from my laptop.
The Oracle works full box I'm going to open it up
OK.
So this is the window for the Oracle virtual box.
I'm going to click on new the name of pink is my first Linux the am and if you notice the mercial box
is smart enough to check the operating system type and version.
For you you probably notice that you are going to see the 64 bit.
You are probably seeing 32 bit.
Now if you are seeing a 32 bit then either your computer is 32 bit architecture or the virtualization
technology is not enabled.
First let's find out if my computer is 64 or not.
So let's call the Start Menu computer.
And when Kollek right click and go to properties
once the property comes up you'll see here it will tell you if it's Windows 7 PC and right here you're
going to see this system type it says 64 bit operating system.
So that's one way.
That's one of the reason that when I'm building my virtual machine is coming up 64 bit operating system.
The second reason you might not going to see 64 is if you don't have virtual technology enabled in your
BIOS settings if that's the case I have actually pasted an article in in my in this lesson and there
is a link to what I would recommend that you go to the link and try it the settings that are recommended
and see if it changes the Sixty-Four setting.
I'm sure it will work.
If not you can always email me back.
So I'm going to leave the settings for next.
Now where it's going to ask me the size of the memory I wanted to assign to this virtual machine.
Now by default it's picking up 1 gig of memory now.
You should also keep in mind how much memory do you have actually in your laptop.
So in my laptop I have let's look at my computer again right click properties and you will see here
my computer has installed memory is 4 gig.
So it is it is wise that I keep the memory below that digit that number.
So I have 4 gigs so I'm going to give 1 gig of that memory to this virtual machine and click Next create
a new Warshel desk.
Yes it will create a brand new virtual disk next leave the default dynamically allocated leave the default
close.
Then does the size of the disk by default.
It picks 8 gig I want to pick 10 gig just to be safe.
So I'm going to just click inside this box remove and type 10 and click Create
and there you go.
This is my first virtual machine that is created again.
Think of it as a piece of hardware that's been created for me.
I'm on the assembly line.
I'm putting the C.P and putting the memory and putting the hard disk and putting everything in that
machine and I built a machine.
So once the machine is built what is the next step.
Next step is to install the operating system and in our course we will be working with Santos operating
system.
So I'm going to power this on and I'm going to install the operating system but of course before I go
ahead and install the operating system I do need the software ISO image.
So in the next lecture we will Khowar how we are going to download the ISO software and then how we
could attach that software to Linux VM and then we will boot off that software.
