Chapter 7 Administering and Monitoring Lab Manager on the same connection. Machines outside the fence cannot initiate communication to virtual machines in the fenced configuration. This option is useful when virtual machines need to obtain data or execute code outside the fence (as seen with Web services or databases) but do not want to receive messages that disrupt testing. „ Block Traffic In and Out - Network traffic does not travel across the fence. Virtual machines in a fenced configuration cannot communicate with machines outside of the fence, and machines outside the fence cannot communicate with virtual machines in the fenced configuration. This option is useful in these circumstances: „ You are testing software viruses that need to remain isolated from the network. „ You are testing a client‐server application in isolation. „ Use Server Boot Sequence - Specifies whether to use the assigned boot order to boot virtual machines in a configuration. For details on determining the order, see "Reviewing the Properties List" on page 41 and "Creating Configurations" on page 83. „ Wait After Turn On (Seconds) - Set the default value for the delay time (or "pause") between booting each virtual machine in a configuration. Lab Manager uses this default value when the user creates a new configuration or adds a virtual machine to an existing configuration. „ Deployment Lease Expiration Alert - Request an email notification of the time before a template or configuration is automatically undeployed. „ Storage Lease Expiration Alert - Request an email notification of the time before a template or configuration is automatically deleted or marked for deletion.This option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by an administrator.

Administering and Monitoring Lab Manager
on the same connection. Machines outside the fence cannot initiate
communication to virtual machines in the fenced configuration.
This option is useful when virtual machines need to obtain data or execute
code outside the fence (as seen with Web services or databases) but do not
want to receive messages that disrupt testing.
Block Traffic In and Out
– Network traffic does not travel across the fence.
Virtual machines in a fenced configuration cannot communicate with
machines outside of the fence, and machines outside the fence cannot
communicate with virtual machines in the fenced configuration.
This option is useful in these circumstances:
You are testing software viruses that need to remain isolated from the
network.
You are testing a client
server application in isolation.
Use Server Boot Sequence
– Specifies whether to use the assigned boot order to
boot virtual machines in a configuration.
For details on determining the order, see
“Reviewing the Properties List”
on
page 41 and
“Creating Configurations”
on page 83.
Wait After Turn On (Seconds)
– Set the default value for the delay time (or
“pause”) between booting each virtual machine in a configuration.
Lab Manager uses this default value when the user creates a new configuration or
adds a virtual machine to an existing configuration.
Deployment Lease Expiration Alert
– Request an email notification of the time
before a template or configuration is automatically undeployed.
Storage Lease Expiration Alert
– Request an email notification of the time before
a template or configuration is automatically deleted or marked for deletion.This
option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by an administrator.
Password Tab
Use the
Password
tab to change your password. You cannot use Lab Manager to change
an LDAP account password. For details on LDAP support, see
“LDAP and Lab
Manager”
on page 144.
