I combed over the installation guide and the user guide for LabManager. Now i'm afraid that if i simply detach the hosts in LM and uninstall it, the VCenter wouldn't be able to use those critical VMs, and then, as we say in ebonics - 'we be screwed'. As soon as I "undeploy" a configuration or a machine in LM, the Vclient loses sight of it, and I found no way to regain it.

VMware vCenter Lab Manager is most often used by companies with >10000 employees & >1000M in revenue. Cannot import a virtual machine to Lab Manager. I was digging around in lab manager for a couple of days and i just don't see any option to make lab manager "release" the virtual machine so that it can be directly controlled by the VCenter server. 633 companies use VMware vCenter Lab Manager. If a large number of virtual machines are deployed at the rate of one virtual machine every one or two minutes by using Lab Manager API scripts, the VMware. Problem is, it's controlling a couple of mission-critical VMs that we cannot afford to lose and now it appears that those VMs are somewhat shakily backed up (we weren't able to do a "bare metal" restore to another VM from backups). We have no need for the LabManager anymore and wish to get rid of it.

We also have lab manager 3 installed, and the LM is controlling a number of the VMs that run on the ESX. Have you tried making a Clone of one of the VMs Then shut down the original managed VM and just power up the clone. It consists of an enclosure with 3 servers (2 ESX 3.5 servers and a VCenter server) and a storage module. We have a VMWARE system that was set up a year ago for one of our projects. Building on the industry-leading VMware Infrastructure, it provides a self-service portal for distributed teams to.
