Lab Manager
configurations
consist
of
virtual
machines.
A
host
server
can
run
multiple
virtual
machines
concurrently
and
isolate
each
virtual
machine
in
a
self
‐
contained
environment.
Virtual
machines
have
a
guest
operating
system
on
which
you
can
install
and
run
any
software
supported
by
that
operating
system.
This
chapter
discusses
how
to
access
and
interact
with
individual
virtual
machines
and
virtual
machine
consoles.
This
chapter

and
Undeploying

Deploying and Undeploying Virtual Machines
Deploying
a
virtual
machine
registers
it
with
vCenter
and
provides
access
to
Lab Manager
operations
at
the
virtual
machine
console
level.
Undeploying
a
virtual
machine
unregisters
it
from
vCenter.
Deploy a Virtual Machine
When
you
deploy
a
virtual
machine
from
a
configuration,
Lab Manager
deploys
all
physical
and
virtual
networks
associated
with
the
configuration
using
the
network
connectivity
options
that
you
select,
regardless
of
whether
the
deployed
virtual
machine
is
connected
to
them.
These
connectivity
settings
remain
in
effect
when
you
deploy
other
virtual
machines
in
the
configuration.
To
modify
the
settings,
you
must
undeploy
and
redeploy
the
virtual
machines.
When
you
a
deploy
a
virtual
machine
from
a
configuration
that
uses
fencing
or
that
has
a
virtual
network
connected
to
a
physical
network,
the
Lab Manager
server
requires
IP
connectivity
to
the
physical
network
on
which
the
virtual
machine
is
stored.
To deploy a virtual machine
