Chapter 2 Planning Your Virtual Machines

Table of Contents

To achieve your goals using virtual machines, you must plan the configuration of each guest, assessing its requirements for resources on the Integrity system on which they will run. This chapter explains how to assess the resources that your system has, as well as the guests you will run on the system, and shows you how to map your guest requirements to the system resources.

“VM Host System Resources” describes the elements of the VM Host system that you must assess as part of the configuration process and presents an example worksheet for recording the system information.
“Guest Requirements” describes the virtual resources that guests use, and presents a worksheet for recording the guest requirements.
“Allocating Resources to Guests” presents examples of three guests with different operating requirements and discusses how they might be set up to share a single VM Host system.
“Running Applications in the Integrity VM Environment” describes the application environment of the VM Host and guests.
