Addressing a Failed Attempt at Installing LM Tools
If the installation of LM Tools fails, Lab Manager may remain unaware of the failure
and assume LM Tools is available. Lab Manager removes the Install LM Tools button
from the virtual machine console page after it assumes an installation has already taken
place.
If you try to install LM Tools after a failed attempt, you can still complete this operation
through the mouseover menu on the virtual machine console page.
To install LM Tools after a failed attempt
1 In the left pane of the console, click Templates.
2 Move the pointer over the name of a deployed template, and choose View Console
from the menu.
3 Though the Install LM Tools button is no longer available after the first
installation attempt, you can instead move the pointer on the tabbed folder and
choose Install LM Tools from the mouseover menu.
Modifying a Machine Template After Installing LM Tools
Modifications to a template may affect LM Tools. If you make changes, review these
restrictions:
Do not add the template to a domain.
If you change the password, you need to uninstall and reinstall LM Tools.
N If you start a Linux template that already has LM Tools installed, this error
OTE
might occur:
Starting lm-tools: Key KEYNUM not found.
You can ignore the error and proceed to use the template.
