VMware® Lab Manager User's Guide
Start Page – Sets the first page that appears after logging in. The Workspace page
is the default setting.
Show Page Header by Default – Deselect the check box to prevent the display of
information that usually appears at the top of the each page.
This information includes IP addresses, virtual machine description, virtual
machine owner, breadcrumb title, link for downloading the Lab Manager Web
console and a snapshot thumbnail (if set). Removing the header gives you more
room to view the console.
Number of Items on Page – Determines the number of rows displayed on pages
with data in tabular format.
The maximum number is 500. The default number is 20.
Behavior on Undeploy – Specifies undeploy behavior for configurations:
Save Memory State – Captures all data in RAM.
This setting affects the Force Undeploy, Undeploy all VMs, and Redeploy all
VMs operations and creates a file to store the data from the RAM of the virtual
machines. Saving the memory state of virtual machines helps you to debug
memory‐specific issues and makes virtual machines ready for deployment
and use almost instantly.
A consequence of this feature is the possible impact on performance for
certain operations. If you specify to save memory state but want to avoid
saving state for a particular operation, shut down the guest operation system
from within the guest before performing the operation.
While this setting affects only certain operations system‐wide, Lab Manager
allows you to save state or discard state at the virtual machine level during
standard Undeploy operations.
Turn Off – Turns off all the virtual machines in a configuration.
This operation is the virtual equivalent of physically powering off all
machines.
Use Network Fencing – Runs your configurations in fenced mode. See
Appendix
Allow Traffic In and Out – Virtual machines can communicate with machines
outside the fence and virtual machines outside the fence can communicate
with virtual machines in the fenced configuration.
Allow Traffic Out – Virtual machines in a fenced configuration can initiate
communication to machines outside the fence and can receive messages back
