Lab Manager User's Guide
4 (Optional) Type a description.
5 Select a Guest OS.
If you select a 64‐bit guest operating system, the datastore must be connected to an ESX/ESXi host that
provides the required 64‐bit processor for that guest OS. You can proceed without fulfilling this
requirement, but you cannot deploy the virtual machine template until you attach a host with the correct
processor. If you have some but not all 64‐bit hosts, Lab Manager limits the number of hosts on which the
virtual machine template can be deployed.
6 Select or deselect Virtual CPU Hot Add.
Selecting this check box enables virtual CPU hot add.
7 Select or deselect Memory Hot Add.
Selecting this check box enables memory hot add.
8 Select or deselect 32‐bit Virtual CPU.
By default, the virtual CPU type assumes the physical host CPU type.
Select this check box to override the default behavior and ensure the virtual CPU type is 32 bits.
For example, you might have a virtual machine template with a 32‐bit guest operating system that does
not have the requires software (kernel or drivers) to run on a 64‐bit processor. Another example involves
a mixed (32‐bit and 64‐bit) ESX/ESXi host environment where you need to complete a testing process
specifically on a 32‐bit guest operating system, and the operating system accommodates both 32‐bit and
64‐bit CPU architecture.
See the VMware Infrastructure documentation for details on priorities, shares, reservations, and limits.
9 Select the number of virtual CPUs.
The maximum number of processors is four.
The datastore must be connected to a host that provides the required SMP technology for the guest
operating system. If you choose a CPU number not currently compatible with the CPU of the host, you
cannot deploy the virtual machine template until you attach a host with the appropriate SMP support.
If you have some but not all hosts that provide the required SMP technology, Lab Manager limits the
number of hosts on which the virtual machine template can be deployed.
10 Modify the CPU reservation.
11 Select a CPU priority.
12 Select a CPU limit.
If you select Maximum, type a value.
13 Modify the memory value.
14 Modify the memory reservation value.
15 Select a memory priority.
16 Select a memory limit.
If you select Maximum, type a value.
17 Select or deselect the Use Time Synchronization check box.
Enables time synchronization between the guest (virtual machine template) and ESX/ESXi host operating
systems.
18 Check whether the Perform Customization is selected.
It specifies whether guest customization is enabled.
