Undeploying Configurations; Capturing Configurations To The Library - VMware VLM3-ENG-CP - Lab Manager - PC User Manual

To view configuration details on a virtual machine level, move the pointer over the
configuration name and choose Details from the menu. The details cover each
virtual machine in the configuration and provide options to deploy and delete
virtual machines, consolidate virtual machine chains, and access virtual machine
properties.
Lab Manager allows only the administrator or the virtual machine owner (even if
the virtual machine is shared with other users) to delete the virtual machine.
To view a full‐screen display of the virtual machines in the configuration, click the
virtual machine console thumbnail in the Consoles column.

the Workspace area.

Capturing Configurations to the Library

Captured configurations in the configuration library are read‐only. You cannot alter a
captured configuration. You can delete a captured configuration.
N VMware recommends devising a naming convention for your stored
OTE
configurations that assists in unique and simple identification.
