VMware® Lab Manager User's Guide
Library – Displays your saved configurations and configurations shared by other
users. Administrators can view all shared and private configurations.
Templates – Enables you to create, view, or track your machine templates and
those shared by other users. Administrators can view all templates.
A template serves as the base of a configuration and offers a matrix that you can
build on. You can create a new template and clone, copy, or consolidate an existing
one. Other operations involve sharing templates and making them private,
importing and exporting templates on the network, deploying and undeploying
templates, and modifying the settings or installed software.
Media – Enables you to add, delete, and track media (CD and floppy) image files.
You can upload data (for example, drivers) to a template from the media library
and synchronize the library with the files in media storage.
Activity Log – Displays the status of operations. Most Lab Manager operations
occur immediately (synchronously), while others take time and complete
asynchronously. During asynchronous operations, you can perform other tasks at
the console and return to the Activity Log page to check the status.
Server Pool – (Administrators) Shows deployed machines, available slots, types of
machines, and activities for Managed Server systems.
Deployed Machines – (Administrators) Presents details on the virtual machines,

Configuration Details – Shows details about the virtual machines, IP addresses,
deployment, fencing, virtualization technology, Managed Server systems, and
boot options. You have the option to add or remove virtual machines from the
configuration on this page or navigate to the console display of one machine.
