VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
Setting Global Preferences for VMware GSX Server
The Host Settings dialog box allows you to change a number of settings that apply to
VMware GSX Server itself.
To change these settings, choose Host > Settings. You must be either the root or
Administrator user to change these settings.
Specifying Where Virtual Machines Are Created
Use the General tab to specify the default location where all virtual machines on this
host are created.
The directory GSX Server uses by default is displayed under Default location for
virtual machines. To set a different directory, type in the path or click Browse to
navigate to the directory you want to use. GSX Server creates a directory for each new
virtual machine under the directory you specify here.
On a Windows host, the default folder where new virtual machines are stored is
<installdrive>:\Virtual Machines .
On a Linux host, the default location where new virtual machines are stored is
/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines .
