Setting up a test server running VM ESXI 5.0
I'm setting up a test server running VM ESXI 5.0. I've installed ESXI 5.0 and configured the network so it connects to my router. I inserted a Win 2008 r2 cd in the dvd drive and I've connected to the vm host (PE2950 server) from a Pc in the network. I logged into the VM host with the client on my Pc and created the 1st VM for Windows 2008 R2/64 and inserted the DVD in the drive.
I started the VM but can't find the proper set of selections to connect the DVD to VM1 so I can install the 1st VM's OS.
Your suggestions are appreciated.

Actually you need to check the box under Force BIOS setup ; the next time the vm boots...

I found the solution myself.
I had to send a CTL-ALT-DEL to the vm after connecting the dvd. Now it's installing.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I will keep them close and review them as I experiement with VM.
