Chapter 7 Administering and Monitoring Lab Manager Reviewing Additional Managed Server Operations Review these additional operations available from the mouseover menu on the Managed Servers page: Disallow Deployments - Prevents Lab Manager from further deploying virtual machines on the Managed Server system. This operation does not affect the virtual machines currently deployed. You must perform this operation before removing a Managed Server system from Lab Manager. Undeploy all VMs - Undeploys all virtual machines currently running on the Managed Server system. Use this option when you want to clean up the configurations on the Managed Server system or remove a Managed Server system. This option appears after choosing Disallow Deployments from the menu. Redeploy all VMs - Undeploys all virtual machines currently running on the Managed Server system and redeploys them to other Managed Server systems. This operation is useful when you need to perform maintenance on a Managed Server system and appears after choosing Disallow Deployments from the menu. The Undeploy all VMs feature leaves virtual machines in an undeployed state. If you want those virtual machines to continue running, you would need to manually redeploy one configuration at a time. If many configurations exist in the Workspace, you may have difficulty locating the correct configuration. The Redeploy all VMs option addresses this issue. If you redeploy virtual machines in a suspended state, make sure that the other Managed Server systems are CPU compatible. Virtual machines are in a suspended state when the Save Memory State option is selected as the default undeploy option in the User Preferences page. (In the left pane, click Preferences to view this page.) Virtual machines can also exist in a suspended state if you use the Suspend option available from the Workspace page. For fenced configurations, all virtual machines in that configuration move together to another Managed Server system. If you need to preserve the original boot order, you must select the Save Memory State option in the User Preferences page prior to redeploying all virtual machines. Allow Deployments - Allows you to deploy more virtual machines on the Managed Server system. VMware, Inc. 125
