a network adapter.

referential provisioning
A process for linked clones that involves storing new changes but referring back to a chain of delta disks.
For each clone, Lab Manager freezes the original delta disk and creates a new one.
A linked clone operation generates a "quick" copy by creating a delta disk instead of copying an entire
virtual hard disk.

To restart a virtual machine and clear the machine state. This operation can occur at the virtual machine
or configuration level.
resource pool
A division of computing resources used to manage allocations between virtual machines.
resume

suspended virtual machine or configuration, all applications are in the same state they were when the
virtual machine or configuration was suspended.
See also Suspend.
revert

status of an active virtual machine to its revert point.
