Building a Home Lab VM Application PC/Server – part 5, Final Production Steps
This video is the fifth of my series on building a Home Lab Virtual Machine Application Server. In this part, I make the final hardware additions to the system and verify their operability, functionality and some performance measurements. In a future video I will be installing the final operating systems, license keys, and a comparison of the performance between some of the VM and Non-VM software images. Thanks for watching.
