NOTE:
The VM files are on the storage LUN that was previously
masked/presented to the virtual host bus adapter port created on this
host. Providing (as a destination folder) a SAN LUN zoned for visibility
to other host servers in the SAN ensures the success of a SAN-based
VM migration. VMM2008 R2 automatically marks a volume that is
capable of SAN migration as migration capable.
8. Click OK and continue with the rest of the process for creating a VM.
9. Install an operating system on the VM.
If you used an existing VM, a template, or a virtual machine stored in a
library, the virtual machine is ready for use.
