Synchronizing Lab Manager with Media Storage

You can synchronize the contents of the Lab Manager media library with the contents
of media storage servers. Specifically, Lab Manager enables you to synchronize the
media library with the files in the \\VMwareLM\ISO folder of the default media
repository or a /ISO folder in NFS storage.
To synchronize Lab Manager with files on NFS media servers, refer to the VMware Lab
Manager Installation Guide for information on NFS storage setup. For more details on
NFS storage, see "Adding Media Storage to Lab Manager" on page 133.
The ability to synchronize the library enables users to perform ISO operations outside
of the Lab Manager Web console. Use the synchronize feature after moving or deleting
large files or large numbers of files.
To synchronize Lab Manager Server with NFS media storage
1 In the left pane, click Storage.
2 In the left pane, click Media.
3 Click Synchronize to make Lab Manager recognize the contents of the NFS server.
4 Confirm to synchronize the contents.
