Frequently asked questions about managing TeamForge Lab Management projects

How are my project systems being utilized?
Regardless of the number of hosts in a project, in practice it is common to find shortages of free hosts. At the same time, there are almost always hosts which are under-utilized or even completely idle, which could be re-allocated or consolidated. Finding and reallocating these hosts allows more efficient use of your project infrastructure.

Who controls which profiles can be used in a project?
As a project administrator, you can control which operating system profiles the users in your project can build hosts with.

What is involved in administrating profiles?
If you are a project admin in TeamForge Lab Management with profiles assigned to your project, or if you are a TeamForge Lab Management domain admin, it is important that you have an understanding of how to administer profiles.

Can I get more systems for my project?
If your project needs more systems allocated to it, you must contact your Domain Administrator to increase your limit and allocate new systems to your project.

What is the correct procedure for modifying a hosted Lab Manager profile?
All profile modifications must be done through the Lab Management UI, under Administration > Manage Profiles. Lab Manager profiles should not be directly modified and changes should not be committed to subversion.
