Manager uses persistent cookies (physically stored on the computer hard disk) to
retain the login information. If you delete the browser cookies, this information is not
available until you log in again.
vCenter Lab Manager
Installation ID
Lab Manager uses the installation ID to generate MAC addresses for virtual machines.
If you have more than one Lab Manager installation on the same network, each
installation must have a unique ID to ensure that there are no MAC address conflicts.
Lab Manager randomly assigns an ID and allows the administrator to manually edit the
value if an ID collision occurs.
vCenter Lab Manager
Installation Host IP Address
IP address of the Lab Manager server.
vCenter Lab Manager Host
Name
DNS name of the Lab Manager server.
Session Timeout Time you want the Lab Manager application to remain active without user interaction.
IP Release Timeout Specifies how long to reserve released IP addresses before returning them to the IP pool.
See “Monitor IP Pool Usage for a Physical Network” on page 102.

60 seconds.

Host Agent Request Timeout Time to wait before an operation that uses the Lab Manager agent fails.
For example, importing a virtual machine template from an SMB share.
Import from vCenter
Timeout
Time to wait before a vCenter import fails. The default is 120 minutes.
When Lab Manager imports a virtual machine from vCenter, vCenter clones the virtual
machine. The timeout value applies to this cloning task.
Datastore Garbage
Collection Frequency
Frequency of garbage collection on datastores. The default is 120 seconds.
Garbage collection is the automatic detection and freeing of images that are no longer in
use. Lab Manager does not immediately delete files associated with a deleted virtual
machine.
Lab Manager stores virtual machine files in a tree of related linked clones. Each pass of
the garbage collector involves an attempt to delete nodes that no longer have
dependencies. Several passes over time might be required to free up the space associated
with a deleted virtual machine.
Activity Log History to Keep Days of log history to keep before deleting it. The default is 90 days.
Type 0 to never delete logs.
Activity Log History Shown Days of log history to display in the Web console. The default is 30 days.
Type 0 to show all activity.
