If you uninstall VMware Tools manually, fail to install VMware Tools properly, or
import a template that was not previously exported from Lab Manager, you might
need to select this check box because Lab Manager is unable to detect whether
VMware Tools exists in these circumstances.
If the option indicates that VMware Tools is installed, the Install VMware Tools
button no longer appears on the virtual machine console. You can still access the
option to install VMware tools through the mouseover menu on the virtual
machine console.
LM Tools – Text noting whether LM Tools is installed on the virtual machine.
VM Chain Length – The number of delta disks generated by certain operations.
For each change, Lab Manager freezes the original delta disk and creates a new
one.
The chain length indicates how scattered the virtual machine image is across the
directories of a storage server.
VM Directory ID – Location of the virtual machine on the file system.
Memory (MB) – Amount of RAM allocated for running the virtual machine.
IP Address – Virtual machine IP address.
You must undeploy a virtual machine before editing the virtual machine IP

Editing the IP address does not change the IP address on the machine. The
editing process affects only the IP address that Lab Manager configured
internally for the machine. See "Changing IP or MAC Addresses" on page 34.
MAC Address – Machine Media Access Control (MAC) Address of the virtual
machine. If the virtual machine is undeployed, you can click the Reset MAC
Address button to recreate the MAC address. See "Changing IP or MAC
Addresses" on page 34.
Boot Sequence – Integer number (0‐n) indicating the boot order for virtual

sequence or all at once.
You do not need to use sequential numbers. Lab Manager can determine the
relative order for virtual machines.
Wait After Turn On (Seconds) – Integer number indicating the delay time (or
"pause") between the boot up process of this machine and the next machine.
Deployment Lease or Storage Lease – Depending on whether the virtual machine
is deployed, this option allows you to specify or update a time to undeploy the
