4 Select the storage server to import the template to.
5 If you import a template that was not exported from Lab Manager, specify details
on VMware Tools and LM Tools because Lab Manager cannot detect if these
utilities are installed on the template:
a Select the VMware Tools Installed check box if you know that VMware Tools
exists on that template.
If you select this check box, the Install VMware Tools button no longer
appears on the virtual machine console. You can still access the option to
install VMware tools through the mouseover menu on the virtual machine
console.
The selection of this check box activates the LM Tools Installed check box
because you cannot run LM Tools without VMware Tools.
b Select the LM Tools Installed check box if you know that LM Tools exists on
that template. This selection causes Lab Manager to pass the required
information to the LM Tools utility to customize network settings. If you have
a template with LM Tools but you do not select this check box, LM Tools runs
but fails to customize the network settings.
After selecting this check box, the Install LM Tools button no longer appears
on the virtual machine console. You can still access the option to install LM
Tools through the mouseover menu on the virtual machine console.
6 Click Import.
The Templates page displays the imported template. The import process takes
several minutes.
If you import a template that was exported from Lab Manager, Lab Manager can
detect whether VMware Tools or LM Tools is installed and reflects that information
in the Templates page.
7 Move the pointer over the template name and choose Publish from the menu.
Publishing makes the template available for use in building configurations.
8 (Optional) Move the pointer over the template name and choose Make Shared
from the menu.
Sharing allows other users to use the template to build configurations.
