Undeploy a Configuration
Undeploying a configuration unregisters its virtual machines from vCenter. When you undeploy a
configuration, you can save or discard its state. Saving the memory state helps when debugging
memory‐specific issues and makes virtual machines in the configuration ready for deployment and use almost
instantly.
If all the virtual machines in the configuration are powered off, you cannot save or discard state, because there
is no state information to save or discard.
To undeploy a configuration
Move the pointer over the configuration name and select Undeploy ‐ Save State or Undeploy ‐ Discard State.
Stopping and Starting Configuration Virtual Machines
You can stop workspace configurations from running using the suspend and power off operations.
Undeploying a configuration also stops it from running. See "Undeploy a Configuration" on page 62 for more
information.
Suspend a Configuration
Suspending a deployed configuration freezes the CPU of the virtual machines, but the virtual machines
remain registered with vCenter.
To suspend a configuration
Move the pointer over the deployed configuration name and select Suspend.
Resume Operation of a Suspended Configuration
You can reverse a suspended state.
To resume operation of a suspended configuration
Move the pointer over the deployed configuration name and select Resume.
Power Off a Configuration
Powering off a deployed configuration turns the virtual machines off. It is the virtual equivalent of powering
off physical machines. The virtual machines remain registered with vCenter.
To power off a configuration
Move the pointer over the deployed configuration name and select Power Off.

Setting Value
If the configuration does not use fencing or include a virtual network, Lab Manager can
always deploy virtual machines across multiple hosts.
If the configuration uses fencing or includes a virtual network, the Host Spanning setting
comes from the organization properties. An organization must have an enabled host
spanning transport network to enable Host Spanning.
If the configuration properties specify a boot sequence, this option is selected. Otherwise,
it is not selected.
Selected.
Set to Any Available.
Uses the deployment lease set in configuration properties.
