Server 2008 installation in LAB with VMware Workstation
Bridge and NAT both will give the Operating system access to host computers network connections.
Host-Only will have the access to Private virtual network on the host computer
“Don does not use network connection” option will let you create Virtual machine without a network adapter.
What is I/O Controller?
I/O Controller Hub (ICH) is a family of Intel southbridge microchips used to manage data communications between a CPU and a motherboard, specifically, Intel chipsets based on the Intel Hub Architecture. It is designed to be paired with a second support chip known as a northbridge.
What is SCSI Controller?
A SCSI controller also called a host bus adapter (HBA), is a card or chip that allows a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) storage device to communicate with the operating system across a SCSI bus.
Serial ATA (SATA, abbreviated from Serial AT Attachment) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. The SCSI standards define commands, protocols, electrical and optical interfaces.
What is the advantage of splitting the VD from a single VD?
If it is a large Disk then splitting will make easier to move the virtual machine data to other places.
