Hi @Erro

Do you mean you want to create new Lync 2013 Server on the VMWare without edge server?

What servers are you deployed in the environment now? A clear topology can help me know much better about your situation.

If you want to deploy an Enterprise edition pool, it needs a backend SQL server. You need deploy the backend SQL server firstly. Then create new Topology. You can follow the deployment steps as the official document:

I have checked this topic but we only found some experience for moving front end server to VMWare. It's a little different from your situation but there are some ideas which may help you.
