Support hardware provisioning

You can provide project managers with a TeamForge Lab Management site where project members can remotely build and test their code.

Tip: For more information about the new features in TeamForge Lab Management 2.2, see this introductory video. (You'll need a free open.collab.net membership to watch it.)

Set up a new TeamForge Lab Management project
To start using TeamForge Lab Management project, create or select a TeamForge (or CollabNet Enterprise Edition) project to link to.
Move hosts from one project to another
When a project has too many machines or needs more, you may wish to reallocate hosts between projects.
Forward a port
To make a service accessible to users, sometimes you may need to forward a port on a Lab Management box to an external-facing port.
Stop port forwarding
When you don't want to forward a port, you can delete or suspend forwarding for that port.
Set up host URL mapping
If you have real users accessing services on a box you have set up virtually with TeamForge Lab Management, consider giving them a human-friendly URL to go to. You can do this by mapping an arbitrary URL to the host's real URL.
Stop URL mapping
When you don't need a URL mapped, it's a good idea to remove the mapping.
Delete a project
To conserve resources on your TeamForge Lab Management site, it's a good idea to delete projects that are not in use.
Undelete a project
To bring a project back into your TeamForge Lab Management site, you can undelete the project.
Expand your domain with virtual guests
By using virtual guests, you can provide your users with many more machines than you actually have.
Manage profiles
Like hosts and projects, profiles must be added at the domain level before they can be used by individual projects. Likewise, they can be administratively disabled from use at the domain level.
Administer clouds
As an administrator, you can set up and manage the clouds in your Lab Management site.
