You

Deploy a LiveLink
If
you
receive
a
LiveLink
URL,
you
can
deploy
a
copy
of
the
original
configuration
to
view
it.
To deploy a LiveLink
1
Open
a
LiveLink
URL
in
a
browser.
If
you
are
not
logged
in
to
the
Lab Manager
Web
console,
the
login
page
appears.
Type
your
user
name
and
password.
2
In
the
Restore
vCenter
Lab Manager
LiveLink
page,
select
a
workspace.
3
Click
Deploy
to
deploy
the
configuration
in
the
workspace.
The
configuration
uses
its
library
configuration
name
with
“LiveLink”
prefixed
to
it.
For
example,
“Oracle
Linux
Bob”
becomes
“LiveLink
–
Oracle
Linux
Bob
(n),”
where
“n”
indicates
the
number
of
times
the
LiveLink
has
been
deployed.
Exporting Configurations
You
can
export
an
undeployed
workspace
or
library
configuration
and
all
its
virtual
machine
files
to
vCenter
or
to
an
SMB
share.
When
you
export
a
configuration,
Lab Manager
copies
all
of
its
virtual
machines
to
the
destination
as
full
clones.
The
original
configuration
and
all
of
its
virtual
machines
remain
available
in
Lab Manager.
Exported
configurations
might
require
a
significant
amount
of
disk
space
on
the
destination
depending
on
the
size
of
their
consolidated
virtual
disks.
Export a Configuration to vCenter
You
can
export
a
configuration
to
vCenter
if
you
want
to
access
copies
of
its
virtual
machines
that
are
not
under
Lab Manager
control.
You
cannot
import
configurations
from
vCenter,
although
you
can
import
virtual
machines.
To export a configuration to vCenter
1
Move
the
pointer
over
the
configuration
name
and
select
Export
.
2
Select
vCenter
.
3
Type
an
export
name.
During
the
export
operation,
vCenter
copies
the
configuration
virtual
machines
to
a
folder
with
the
name
you
specify
here.
4
Select
a
datastore.
5
Click
OK
.
Lab Manager
creates
consolidated
copies
of
the
configuration
virtual
machines
and
registers
them
in
vCenter.
