# Creating a Provisioning Target

You can create a provisioning target for the following scenarios:

- To identify resources that can be used for live mounts and to specify parameters for live mount operations, including live mounts that are performed for backup validation.

- To enable testing failover operations for VMs using live mounts.

- To support Virtualize Me operations.

- To identify a destination for full VM restores.

## Before You Begin

- Configure a hypervisor for the destination. For information, see the documentation for the virtualized platform that you are creating a hypervisor for. For example, for VMware, see Get started with backups for VMware vSphere VMs.

- For Virtualize Me targets, download the required Windows or UNIX ISO files and copy them to a location on the destination host. For instructions to download the ISO files, see Downloading the ISO file for 1-Touch.

- Review the list of options for the destination hypervisor:

  - Amazon

  - Azure Resource Manager

  - Azure Stack Hub

  - Nutanix

  - Hyper-V

  - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  - VMware
