Lab Manager
is
an
application
that
provides
a
rapid
provisioning
portal
and
image
library
management
system
to
automate
the
setup
and
teardown
of
multimachine
software
configurations
and
manage
service
transition
activities.
Lab
Manager
leverages
VMware
vSphere
and
VMware
vCenter
to
provide
virtual
infrastructure
resources
to
multiple
teams,
projects,
and
geographies
from
a
central
location.
Using
Lab Manager,
you
can
create
a
shared
virtual
machine
library
that
stores
commonly
used
configurations
and
provide
users
with
self
‐
service
access
to
these
configurations
for
application
development,
testing,
support,
training,
software
demonstrations,
and
more.
Lab Manager
administrators
control
access
rights,
storage
quotas,
and
deployment
policies.

Lab Manager Components
Lab Manager
requires
VMware
vSphere.
VMware
ESX/ESXi™
hosts
provide
the
memory
and
CPU
resources
to
run
Lab Manager
virtual
machines.
Lab Manager
manages
the
ESX/ESXi
hosts
through
a
vCenter
Server
and
the
Lab Manager
agent
installed
on
the
hosts.
ESX/ESXi
hosts
continue
to
function
even
if
the
vCenter
Server
system
becomes
unreachable
(for
example,
the
network
connection
is
severed).
vSphere
datastores
provide
shared
storage
for
Lab Manager
virtual
machines
and
media
files
to
install
guest
operating
systems
and
applications.
Users
can
access
the
Lab Manager
server
through
Web
and
SOAP
interfaces:
Use
Microsoft
Internet
Explorer
or
Mozilla
Firefox
to
access
the
Lab Manager
Web
console
to
interact
with
the
Lab Manager
server.
Use
the
Lab Manager
SOAP
API
to
access
the
Lab Manager
server
programmatically.
The
SOAP
API
allows
easy
integration
with
build
management
systems
and
with
automated
testing
tools.
See
the
Lab Manager
SOAP
API
Guide
for
more
information.
