VMware® Lab Manager User's Guide
3 Review, select, and edit the appropriate properties:
Name – Can contain only alphanumeric characters (a–z, A–Z, 0–9), hyphens,
underscores, or periods. Maximum length is 15 characters.
Description – (Optional) Maximum number of characters is 128.
Owner – Name of the template owner.
Number of Virtual CPUs – Maximum number of processors is 4.
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 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.
Guest OS – Guest operating system of the template.
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.
Storage Server – Storage server to store the virtual machine on.
Virtual Machine Technology – VMware ESX Server.
32‐bit Virtual CPU – By default, the virtual CPU type assumes the physical
host CPU type.
Select this check box to override the default behavior and ensure the virtual
CPU type is 32‐bit. For example, you might select this option when you need
to complete a testing process specifically with 32‐bit virtual CPU.
Use Time Synchronization – Enables time synchronization between the guest
(virtual machine) and host (Managed Server) operating systems. You must
install VMware Tools to use this option.
This option sets the value of tools.syncTime in the .vmx file.
VMware Tools Installed – Specification of whether VMware Tools is installed
on the template.
If you uninstall VMware Tools manually, fail to install VMware Tools
properly, or import a template that was not previously exported from Lab
