When using VM
storage policies,
select a compatible
datastore to ensure
that the VM's stor-
age needs are prop-
erly satisfi ed.
For more information on VM storage policies, refer to Chapter 6.
After you select a datastore, click Next.
7. Select a VMware VM version. vSphere 5.5 introduces a new VM hardware version, ver-
sion 10. As with earlier versions of vSphere, previous VM hardware versions are also sup-
ported. If the VM you are creating will be shared with ESXi hosts running both version
5.1 and version 5.5, then choose ESXi 5.1 and later (VM version 9). If the VM will be used
only with vSphere 5.5, then choose ESXi 5.5 and later (VM version 10). Click Next.
