To create a virtual machine template
1 In the left pane, click VM Templates .
2 Click New VM Template .
3 Type a name.
4 (Optional) Type a description.
5 Select a datastore.
6 Select a virtual machine version.
The version determines on which ESX/ESXi host that the virtual machine runs. The default is virtual
machine version 7, which runs on ESX/ESXi 4.0 or later.
7 Select a guest operating system (OS).
If you select a 64 ‐ bit guest OS, the datastore must be connected to an ESX/ESXi host that provides the
required 64 ‐ bit processor for that guest OS. You can create a template without a host, but you cannot
deploy the virtual machine template until you attach a host with the correct processor. If you have some
(but not all) 64 ‐ bit hosts, Lab Manager limits the number of hosts on which the virtual machine template
can be deployed. For information on enabling an ESX/ESXi host to provide 64 ‐ bit support, see the
VMware Infrastructure documentation.
8 Select the number of virtual CPUs.
The datastore for this virtual machine template must be connected to a host that provides the required
SMP technology for the guest OS. If you choose a CPU number not currently compatible with the CPU of
the host, you cannot deploy the virtual machine template until you attach a host with the appropriate SMP
support. If you have some but not all hosts that provide the required SMP technology, Lab Manager limits
the number of hosts on which the virtual machine template can be deployed.
9 Type the memory.
10 In the Hard Disk panel, type the size and select the bus type.
11 In the Network Interface panel, select a network, and if applicable, select an IP address mode.
12 Select a storage lease.
13 Click OK .
Lab Manager creates the virtual machine template in the current organization, and it appears on the VM
Templates page as Undeployed and Unpublished .
Importing Virtual Machine Templates
Importing a virtual machine template involves copying an external virtual machine into the Lab Manager
template library. You can import a virtual machine that is new to, or was previously exported by, Lab Manager.
Lab Manager changes the MAC address of all imported virtual machines.
Lab Manager supports these virtual machines types for import operations:

VMware Workstation

VMware Server

VMware ESX/ESXi

BEA LiquidVM
Only LiquidVMs that use static IP mode and DHCP mode are supported. If importing takes longer than
two hours, Lab Manager times out. To modify the timeout for vCenter and SMB imports, see
“Configuring General Preferences” on page 135.
You cannot import a virtual machine that uses raw device mappings (RDMs).
