The Virtual Machine Manager Library is a repository used to store a variety of virtual machine resources such as virtual hard disk and CD/DVD ISO images, virtual machine templates, stored virtual machines, virtual floppy disks, hardware and guest operating system profiles and Sysprep SysPrep answer files. The primary purpose of the library is to promote re-use of information and objects in the creation and configuration of virtual machines deployed within the Virtual Machine Manager infrastructure.
A VMM Library consists of resources stored in one or more network share folders on the VMM Library Server system combined with information cataloged in the SQL Server database associated with the VMM 2008 installation. By default, the VMM Library share folder is located in ''%SystemRoot\ProgramData\Virtual Machine Library Files'' and shared under the name ''MSSCVMMLibrary''.
From within this dialog, automatic refreshes may be turned off or the duration modified to meet specific requirements. In addtionaddition, a manual refresh of a library may be performed at any time by right clicking on the library and selecting ''Refresh'' from the resulting menu.
== Adding Files to a VMM Library ==
To add a file to a library, simply copy the file to the appropriate share folder on the library server system. Note that new files added to a library share will not show up in the library index until the next refresh is performed. To perform a manual refresh, right click on the library to which the file was added and select ''Refresh'' from the resulting menu.
