We now need a VM to host the Oracle database server we are migrating. We can create it now, or it could have been created beforehand.
Add a Hard Disk for the operating system as well as the disks with the sizes identified above. To avoid problems, it is recommended to install the same operating system version on the VM as is installed on the physical server from where we are migrating.
We have created a VM called lnx-rt-vm-ora01prd and have added the required disks to it from the vVol datastore.
While we are setting up the new VM, make sure disk.enableUUID is set to TRUE. To do that, go to VM Options -> Advanced -> Edit Configuration, and add the disk.enableUUID parameter if it is not present. Note that this change can only be made when the VM is powered off.
Assign an IP address to the VM, and power it on.
