To import a template from SMB storage
1 In the left pane, click Templates.
2 Click the Import Template button.
3 Enter the information for the template:
a Enter the UNC path to the appropriate directory (for example,
\\10.10.10.10\importdir).
Use English characters for the UNC path.
b If the UNC folder needs authentication, specify the user name and password
to access the files.
c Enter the name.
d (Optional) Enter a description.
e Specify a time to undeploy the template.
If an administrator sets a system‐wide lease time, a user without
administrator privileges cannot override the value but can extend the lease to
any value up to the value set by the administrator.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can
extend a lease to the original maximum value. Once the user alters the lease
time, the lease choices reset up to the latest value determined by the
administrator.
f Specify a time to delete the template (or mark it for deletion). The default
option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by an administrator.
Most operations renew the storage lease because Lab Manager identifies the
template as in use.
If an administrator sets a system‐wide lease time, a user without
administrator privileges cannot override the value but can extend the lease to
any value up to the value set by the administrator.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can
extend a lease to the original maximum value. However, once the user alters
the lease time, the lease choices reset up to the latest value determined by the
administrator.
