Configuring the Criteria for Requested Virtual Machines
When users request virtual machines, they can specify criteria such as the location, organization, server
environment, service level, and performance.
For example, a user can request a virtual machine and Palo Alto as the location, Administrative as the
organization, Production as the server environment, select a comprehensive service level, and high
performance. As an LCM Administrator, you can modify these criteria if, for example, the needs of the company
change or resources change.
You can rename or delete existing elements or reconfigure mapping options. If you reconfigure these options,
you are modifying the elements that comprise the criteria for a virtual machine. To create a criterion, at least
one criterion of a type must currently exist. You can edit the mapping option for any element.
