Creating a Virtual Machine Adding and Removing Devices Managing a Virtual Machine Installing an OS A virtual machine (VM) is an environment on a host computer that you can use as if it is a separate, physical computer. Users can use VMs to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer. Operating systems running inside a VM see emulated virtual hardware rather than the host computer physical hardware. VMs provide more isolation than Jails but also consume more system resources.

Go to Virtualization > Virtual Machines and locate the VM you want to modify.

Creating a Bridge: Single Physical Interface Creating a Bridge: One Active Interface Edit Interface Add Bridge Interface Edit VM Device Configuration VM Access Examples If you want to access your TrueNAS SCALE directories from a VM, you have multiple options. If your system has more than one physical interface, you can assign your VMs to a NIC other than the primary one your TrueNAS server uses. This method makes communication more flexible, but does not offer the potential speed of a bridge.
