Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to create a new virtual machine on my VMware ESXi 5.5<br />
<br />
The aim is upload a set of files to the VMFS/NFS datastore on the ESXi.<br />
<br />
The first problem I have is creating a virtual machine. I get to the point where I am asked to 'Specify a name and Location'. As you can see from image1, the default name that is created is 'New Virtual Machine'. Can someone show me how to specify a location? <br />
<br />
Also, when get to the point where I'm asked to 'Select a destination storage', see image2 nothing appears<br />

VMware - Creating new Virtual machine

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
