Export a Virtual Machine Template to an SMB Share
You
can
export
an
undeployed
virtual
machine
template
to
an
SMB
share.
This
operation
requires
that
you
have
a
shared
folder
with
full
control
permissions
at
the
share
and
file
system
level.
Exporting
can
take
an
extended
period
of
time,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
virtual
machine.
By
default,
Lab Manager
times
out
when
export
operations
take
longer
than
two
hours.
See
“Configuring
General
Preferences”
on
page 135
to
modify
the
timeout
for
SMB
exports.
Export
operations
require
an
open
SMB
port
on
the
ESX
hosts.
Although
Lab Manager
opens
the
port
during
installation,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
the
port
was
not
closed
after
the
install.
To
check
the
port
status,
run
esxcfg-firewall -q smbClient
on
each
host.
Before
exporting
a
virtual
machine
template,
Lab
Manager
consolidates
it.
This
results
in
an
increase
in
the
disk
space
required
to
store
the
template.
The
exported
template
might
also
require
a
significant
amount
of
disk
space
depending
on
the
size
of
its
consolidated
virtual
disk.
When
you
export
a
template
to
an
SMB
file
server,
the
datastore
on
which
the
template
resides
must
be
connected
to
an
ESX
host.
If
the
datastore
is
only
connected
to
an
ESXi
host,
you
cannot
export
the
template
to
an
SMB
file
server.
You
can
still
export
the
template
to
vCenter.

the
UNC
path
of
the
SMB
share
(relative
to
the
Lab Manager
server
system)
where
you
want
to
store
the
files.
Use
English
characters
for
the
UNC
path,
for
example,
A
sample
path
is
\\10.6.1.246\VMwareLM\ExportTemplates
.
If
the
UNC
folder
requires
authentication,
type
the
user
name
and
password
to
access
the
files.
4
Click
OK
.
Export a Virtual Machine Template to vCenter

default,

administrators,
administrators
with
rights

organization
