Chapter 7 Working with Configurations 4 Specify the Host Spanning setting. This option is only available if the configuration's organization includes an enabled host spanning transport network and the configuration uses fencing or a virtual network. For a configuration that is unfenced and does not include any virtual networks, Lab Manager can always deploy its virtual machines across multiple hosts For network intensive operations, enabling Host Spanning may result in a slight decrease in throughput and a slight increase in latency. 5 Select the Use Server Boot Sequence check box to boot the virtual machines in the order specified in the configuration properties. If you do not select this option, Lab Manager boots the virtual machines all at once. 6 Deselect the Power On Machines After Deployment check box to prevent Lab Manager from powering on virtual machines immediately after deployment. Use this option when you need to manually power on virtual machines. For example, you might need to ensure a database, application, and Web server are working individually rather than all at once. 7 Specify a resource pool on which to deploy the configuration or select Any Available. 8 Specify a time to undeploy the configuration. 9 (Optional) Type change summary text that will appear on the configuration's History tab. 10 Click OK. Deploy a Configuration with Default Settings If you do not need to specify any custom deployment settings, you can deploy a configuration using its default settings. For more information about how the default settings are determined, see "Understanding Default Deployment Settings" on page 61. To deploy a configuration with default settings Move the pointer over the configuration name and select Deploy with defaults. If the configuration is already partially deployed, Lab Manager only deploys the configuration's undeployed virtual machines. Understanding Default Deployment Settings Table 7‐1 provides information about how Lab Manager determines default deployment settings. Table 7-1. Default Deployment Settings Setting Name Setting Value Fence Virtual Machines Connect Virtual Networks to Physical Networks If the configuration or any of its physical networks has a Fenced Only fencing policy, then all physical networks in the configuration are fenced and network connectivity is set to Allow In and Out, unless one of the physical networks requires a different connectivity setting. If the configuration and physical network policies conflict (one is set to Fenced Only and the other is set to Unfenced Only), Lab Manager displays an error and prevents deployment. If both the configuration and physical network properties are set to Allow Fenced or Unfenced, the default is determined by the deployment setting specified in the organization properties.
