Remarks

A library share is a designated share on a Virtual Machine Manager library server. A library share provides access to file-based resources for virtual Lab Management environments that are stored on your library servers, such as ISO images and virtual hard disks. Library shares are created in Virtual Machine Manager. Visual Studio Lab Management uses library shares to provision virtual machines in the lab.

Use only one of the /Add, /Edit, or /Delete options on a TfsConfig Lab /LibraryShare command line. Use separate TfsConfig Lab /LibraryShare command lines to assign multiple library shares to a collection.

By default, library shares in a team project collection are automatically assigned to each of the team projects in the collection. You can use the /AutoProvision option with the /Add and /Edit commands to change the library shares are assigned.

  • Set the /AutoProvision option to False to disable the automatic assignment of the library share to team projects. To assign or remove a library share in an individual team project, use the TfsLabConfigTFSLabConfig CreateTeamProjectLibraryShare Command.

  • Set the /AutoProvision option to True to enable the automatic assignments.
