Actions on machines

To perform an action on a machine, right-click that machine in the list. Most actions are also available when you select more than one machine.

The actions are the following:

• Deploy image: Starts the Create Deployment Task Wizard. By default, the deployment task is being created for the selected machine (or machines).
• Cancel deployment: Cancels the currently running deployment for the selected machine.
• Add to group: Adds the selected machines to a group you previously created.
• Remove from group: For the selected machines in a group, removes them from that group.
• Delete: Removes the selected machines from the list. The machine will reappear in the list the next time it connects to the deployment server.
• Deny deployments: Excludes the selected machines from any deployment through the deployment server. As a result:
  • Any deployment tasks do not apply to the machine. However, the list of machines in those tasks is not affected.
  • User-initiated deployment for the selected machines is not possible.
  • Stand-alone deployment for the selected machines is possible, because it does not use the deployment server.
• Allow deployments: Undoes the exclusion of the selected machines that was previously done by the Deny deployments action.
• Set label: Sets the label that is shown in the Machine column. For example, you can use the network name of the machine as the label. If no label is provided, the Machine column shows the MAC address of the machine.
