machine to run in. The virtual machine will have access to the resources of the selected object.<br />
For example, a virtual machine has access to the memory and CPU resources of the host on which it resides.<br />
If you select a cluster for the virtual machine, and the administrator has configured the cluster to take<br />
advantage of HA and DRS, the virtual machine will have a greater level of availability.<br />
Procedure<br />

If deploying the virtual machine to the selected location might cause compatibility problems, the<br />
problems appear at the bottom of the window.<br />
