Password
– Enter the password of the SMTP server account.
Default E
mail Subject Prefix
– Initial text for the subject field of messages.
Test SMTP Settings
– Click the button to verify the server connection works.
Default User Preferences
Default Stored VM Quota
– Number of virtual machines you can store on storage
servers.
Default Deployed VM Quota
– Number of virtual machines you can deploy at
one time.
Default Media Server
– Media server for CD and floppy images.
Default Deployment Options
These options set the default deployment options for new users.
Use Network Fencing
– Run your configurations in fenced mode. See
Appendix C,
“Network Fencing,”
on page 171.
Allow Traffic In and Out
– Virtual machines can communicate with machines
outside the fence and machines outside the fence can communicate with
virtual machines in the fenced configuration.
Allow Traffic Out
– Virtual machines in a fenced configuration can initiate
communication to machines outside the fence and can receive messages back
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.
