Upgrade Virtual Hardware in a Configuration

Lab Manager configurations can include version 4 and version 7 virtual machines. If a configuration includes
version 4 virtual machines, you can upgrade these virtual machines to version 7. Version 4 virtual machines
can run on hosts with ESX 3.5 and above, while version 7 virtual machines require hosts with ESX 4.0 and
above.
Before you can upgrade a virtual machine to version 7, you must install the latest version of VMware Tools.
See "Install VMware Tools" on page 78 for more information.
When you upgrade virtual hardware, Lab Manager discards state information and deletes any snapshots
associated with the virtual machines.
To upgrade configuration virtual hardware, you must first undeploy the configuration.
To upgrade configuration virtual hardware
