View Deployed Virtual Machines on a Host
You can view the deployed virtual machines on a specific ESX/ESXi host. To view the deployed virtual
machines across all hosts, see "View Deployed Virtual Machines" on page 147.
To view the deployed virtual machines on a host
1
In the left pane, click Resources.
2
In the Hosts tab, move the pointer over the host and select Deployed VMs.
The Deployed Virtual Machines page displays information about the virtual machines from the currently
selected organization that are deployed on the selected host. If you select Global and All Deployed
Machines, the page lists all the virtual machines deployed on the host.
Knowing the virtual machine template that serves as the basis of the virtual machine is useful when you
plan to retire a virtual machine template and need to evaluate its usage. The Template column lists the
virtual machine templates used in undeployed virtual machines.

In the top left corner, select a view:
My Deployed Machines in This Organization– View your private and shared virtual machines in
the selected organization.
All Deployed Machines in This Organization– View your private, shared, and all virtual machines
shared by others that are available to you in the selected organization.
System administrators can select this option in the Global organization to view all the virtual
machines deployed on the host across the entire Lab Manager installation.
Deployed Machines in Other Organizations – View all your deployed machines in organizations
other than the selected organization. This option is not available from the Global organization or for
users who are members of one organization.
Undeploy All Virtual Machines on a Host
System administrators can undeploy all the virtual machines associated with a host, which is useful when you
want to complete maintenance on a host. Undeploying these virtual machines can result in partially deployed
configurations, and the undeployed virtual machines must be manually redeployed.
N
When you select Undeploy all VMs, the virtual machines are suspended, but their state is saved.
