Changing computer assignments in a virtualization study


After reviewing the candidate assignments on the Results page, you may decide that there are source computers or guests you would like assigned to a different virtual target.

To change the list of computers assigned to a virtual host, click Change Assignments on the Consolidation Results page or Deployment Results page to display the Change Guest-to-Host Assignments page. Use this page to move one or more computers from one virtual target in the study to another.

  2. Select the reconsolidation option for the computers with a blank value in the Assignment Action column.
    • To automatically place the computers on virtual hosts during reconsolidation, select the Move computers to new virtual hosts as needed to achieve optimal balancing option.
    • To keep these computers on the virtual host specified in the Assigned Host Computer column, select the Leave Computers on their currently assigned virtual host option.
  3. Click Reconsolidate...
