Deployment Lease
or
Storage Lease
– Depending on whether the template is
deployed or not, this option allows you to specify or update a time to
undeploy the template or a time to delete the template (or mark it for
deletion). The default option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by
an administrator.
Most operations renew the storage lease because Lab Manager identifies the
template as in use. See
“Reviewing the Resource Cleanup Tab”
on page 149.
If an administrator sets a system
wide lease time, a user without
administrator privileges cannot override the value but can extend the lease to
any value up to the value set by the administrator.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can
extend a lease to the original maximum value. Once the user alters the lease
time, the lease choices reset up to the latest value determined by the
administrator.
