Chapter 6 Setting Up Virtual Machine Templates
Import a Virtual Machine Template from vCenter
By
default,
only
a
system
administrator
can
import
virtual
machine
templates
from
vCenter.
If
you
have
a
virtual
machine
in
a
resource
pool
managed
by
vCenter,
you
can
import
this
machine
as
a
virtual
machine
template
to
Lab Manager.
If
a
virtual
machine
has
vCenter
snapshot
files,
Lab Manager
imports
the
original
virtual
machine
as
a
template
and
discards
the
snapshot
files.
The
virtual
machine
must
be
powered
off
and
in
the
same
datacenter
as
the
one
being
managed
by
Lab Manager.
