VMware® Lab Manager User's Guide Adding Managed Server Systems Administrators can add a Managed Server system. Review these requirements to add a Managed Server system: „ The Managed Server system must be a physical machine. „ All Managed Server systems must exist on the same subnet. The Lab Manager Server system does not need to exist on the same subnet as the Managed Server systems. „ Before adding a Managed Server system to Lab Manager, you must install the Managed Server agent software on the target system. For installation instructions, see the VMware Lab Manager Installation Guide. „ You cannot have two Managed Server systems with the same VMFS partition name. This situation can occur when two Managed Server systems use the same name for local storage. When you add the second Managed Server system, its identically named VMFS partition becomes disabled.
