Request a Virtual Machine as an LCM IT Staff User
To obtain a virtual machine, you must submit a request. You can request a specific start date or accept the first
available date.
You can modify virtual machine parameters like CPU, memory, and shares, when you request the virtual
machine. The options available are determined by the LCM Administrator. The modifications affect only the
virtual machine that you are requesting at the time.
Prerequisites
Review the customization template attributes to verify that you understand the default values. For more
information, see “Customization Template Attributes,” on page 31.
