Abstract
This chapter extends the discussion on the virtual machine's creation. To begin, it discusses the two main components of a virtual machine, the .vmx and the .vmdk files. Then it looks at the hardware and version level of these files, as well as how one can change the files to be able to migrate a virtual machine's disk file from one VMware platform to another. Virtual machines are made up of two files. The .vmx file is the virtual machine's configuration file, while the virtual machine disk format (VMDK) file is the virtual machine's disk file or hard drive. The chapter examines these files and the different settings that can be used. To conclude, it dynamically creates a virtual machine using a script, and modifies the script to build the virtual machine in a few different ways.
