How Do I Associate A VM Profile With A Lab Profile?

Virtual Machines (VMs) are configured in the Lab Profile settings.

For a virtual machine to be used in a launched lab, the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) must be in a Virtual Machine Profile that is associated with the Lab Profile. This association is done from within the Lab Profile page.

Configure Lab Profile

  1. On the Site Administration under Lab Profiles, select Find Lab Profiles.

  2. On the Find Lab Profiles page in the Series Name field, input the series name and select Search.

  3. In the search results, select the name of the Lab Profile you want.

  4. On the Lab Profile page, select the Edit link and then select the Virtual Machines tab.

  5. Select the Add Virtual Machine link and in the Choose Virtual Machine Profile dialog box.

  6. Select the Search button. All of the Virtual Machine Profiles that are associated with that series will be listed.

  7. Select all of the Virtual Machine Profile(s) that will be used in this Lab Profile and select OK.

  8. Make any changes to the default choices for each machine as needed such as Startup delay.

  9. If there is more than one VM, make sure the first VM the user will need to interact with is marked as the Default selection, and ensure it is set to be visible to student then select Save.
