Lesson 8: Reserve lab resources for immediate use

In this lesson, you, in the role of a lab manager, you search for and reserve a lab resource for 24 hours.
You can search for a lab resource that matches the hardware and software configurations that you need for your testing effort. When you open a list of all lab resources, you can click a lab resource ID to see details about the hardware and software installed on it. You can find out if the lab resource is currently available. You can then select the lab resource and reserve it for 24 hours.

To locate and reserve a lab resource for immediate use:

  1. In the left sidebar, point to the Lab Management icon (Lab Management), and click All Lab Resources. The All Lab Resources editor opens. This editor is case-sensitive.
  2. Find the physical machine that was defined earlier in this tutorial: Server1.
  3. In the lab resource list, select the Server1 check box, and then click the Reserve machine for the next 24 hours icon (Reserve). The reserve status of Server1 is updated to show that you have it reserved for 24 hours.
