In my previous post, I created a new virtual machine from an ISO just the same as if you had installed from a CD. With virtual machines, you also have the option of creating a virtual machine from a the VA Marketplace. At the VA Marketplace you will find pre-configured VMs ready for your deployment. In this post, I will deploy a small VM called Nostalgia from the VA Marketplace.
How to Deploy a Virtual Applicance from the VA Marketplace
1) From the main vSphere Client window, select File > Browse VA Marketplace.
2) Scroll the list of Virtual Appliances until you find one called Nostalgia.
3) Select Nostalgia, and click Next.
4) Click Next.
5) Change the name of the VM if you wish, Click Next.
6) Click Finish.
7) Hopefully the deployment completed successfully. Click Close.
8) Your new Nostalgia virtual machine should now be in the inventory list.
9) You can now start your VM. Please note that you may need to read up on your VM especially for the userid and password.
