3 Specify the template information:
a Enter a name.
b (Optional) Enter a description.
c (Optional) Select the storage server.
d Select the guest operating system.
If you select a 64‐bit guest operating system, the storage server must be
connected to a Managed Server system that provides the required 64‐bit
processor for that guest OS. You can proceed without fulfilling this
requirement but you cannot deploy the template until you attach a Managed
Server system with the correct processor.
For information on enabling a Managed Server system to provide 64‐bit
support, see the VMware Infrastructure 3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
e Specify the number of virtual CPUs.
The storage server for virtual machines must be connected to a Managed
Server system that provides the required SMP technology for the guest
operating system. If you choose a CPU number not currently compatible with
the CPU of the Managed Server system, you cannot deploy the virtual
machine until you attach a Managed Server system with the appropriate SMP
support.
f Select the disk type.
g Enter the disk size (GB).
h Enter the memory (MB).
i Specify a time to undeploy the template.
Lab Manager allows you to renew a lease at a later time in the properties pages
for templates, virtual machines, Workspace configurations, and library
configurations.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can
extend a lease up to the original maximum value or the new value set by the
administrator, whichever is greater.
j Specify a time to delete the template or mark the template for deletion. This
lease is intended to delete unused or inactive templates. Most operations
renew the lease because Lab Manager identifies the template as in use. This
option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by an administrator.
