Deploying Virtual Machines from a Library
== Deploying Virtual Machines from a Library ==
 
Once a virtual machine has been stored in a VMM Library, it may subsequently be deployed to any suitable managed host. A stored virtual machine may only be deployed to one host. Once the deployment is complete, the stored copy is removed from the library.
 
Deployment is performed form within the ''Library'' view of the VMM Administrator Console. With this view selected, navigate to the ''VMs and Templates'' branch of the ''Resources'' tree located in the top left pane of the console window. This will display a list of virtual machines stored in the library as illustrated in the following figure:

To deploy a stored virtual machine to a managed host, select the required machine from the list and click in the ''Deploy'' link in the ''Actions'' pane to invoke the ''Deploy Virtual Machine'' Wizard. The initial screen of the wizard provides a list of managed hosts from which to choose a destination. Once a host has been selected, click ''Next'' to configure the folder on the host where the virtual machine files are to be stored. The next screen provides the option to connect any network adapters configured into the stored virtual machine to virtual networks on the target host. Finally, the Summary screen provides an overview of the chosen deployment options, together with a ''Deploy'' button used to initiate the deployment process. Progress of the deployment will be displayed in the ''jobs'' dialog which may be launched (if it does not appear automatically) by clicking on the ''Jobs'' button located on the console toolbar.
