Change

Section 3.6, Setting Up a Time Server for a Virtual Machine

This section is new.

Section 3.8, Creating a Virtual Machine

  • iSCSI controller

    NOTE:VMware Paravirtual SCSI controllers cannot be used in clustering environments because they use caches to achieve better throughput.

  • NIC types

    You can specify whatever NIC type you need based on your hardware, network needs, and other considerations for your environment.

    For example, E1000 and VMXNET3 NIC types have drivers in the Linux kernel and do not require VMware Tools to be installed in order to run. This allows these NICs to be available during the operating system installation.
