Use TFSLabConfig to configure Visual Studio Lab Management

  • 아티클

TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

Important

TFS 2017 and later versions no longer support Visual Studio Lab Management. This article applies to TFS 2015 and TFS 2013.

Team Foundation Server includes a command-line tool to help you configure and manage the lab service provide by Visual Studio Lab Management.

The TFSLabConfig command-line tool is located in Drive:\Program Files\TFS <version>\Tools on Team Foundation Server application tier -- by default, this corresponds to the following drives:

  • TFS 2015: %programfiles%\TFS 14.0\Tools
  • TFS 2013: %programfiles%\TFS 12.0\Tools
  • TFS 2012: %programfiles%\TFS 11.0\Tools
  • TFS 2010: %programfiles%\TFS 2010\Tools

It is also located in Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio <version>\Common7\IDE on the client machine where Microsoft Test Manager is installed.

To use TFSLabConfig, you must have the appropriate permissions for the operation that you want to perform. The Prerequisites are described for each command in the command reference topic.

CreateTeamProjectHostGroup

Use the CreateTeamProjectHostGroup command to assign a host group from a project collection to an individual project in the collection. Host groups specify one or more physical machines that are the deployment targets for virtual environments in Visual Studio Lab Management. Host groups are created in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and assigned to a project collection by Visual Studio Lab Management. Use separate CreateTeamProjectHostGroup commands to assign multiple host groups to a project.

Note

You can automatically assign a host group to all the projects in a team project collection when you assign the host group to the project collection. See TFSConfig Lab /HostGroup Commands and How to: Change the Host Groups for Your Project Collections.

Prerequisites

To use the CreateTeamProjectHostGroup command, you must have the Manage Lab Locations permission at the Project Collection Host Group level. By default, the members of the Team Foundation Server Administrators and Project Collection Administrators groups have this permission. For more information, see Permission reference for Azure DevOps Server.

TFSLabConfig CreateTeamProjectHostGroup
    /Collection:collectionUrl
    /TeamProject:{* |teamProjectName}
    /TeamProjectCollectionHostGroup:(* |teamProjectCollectionHostGroupName}
    /Name:teamProjectHostGroupName
          [/Description:teamProjectHostGroupDescription]
          [/NoPrompt]

Parameters

Option Description
Collection:collectionUrl Required. The URL of the project collection on the TFS application tier that contains the project. For example, /collection:http://abc:8080/TFS/DefaultCollection.
TeamProject:{ * | teamProjectName} Required. The name of the project. Use quotation marks if there are spaces in the name. Use an asterisk (*) to assign the specified host group to all projects in the collection.
TeamProjectCollectionHostGroup:{ * | teamProjectCollectionHostGroupName}
Name: teamProjectHostGroupName Required. The name to assign to the host group in the project.
Description: teamProjectHostGroupDescription Optional. A description of the project host group.
NoPrompt Optional. Do not prompt the user for confirmation.

Example

For increased readability in the example, command options are listed on separate lines. In a command prompt window, type all options for a command on the same line.

In the first example, all the host groups in the project collection are assigned to each project in the collection. In the second example, one host group in the project collection is assigned to a specific project.

CreateTeamProjectLibraryShare

Use the CreateTeamProjectLibraryShare command to assign a library share from a project collection to an individual project in the collection. A library share provides access to file-based resources for virtual environments such as ISO images and virtual hard disks. Library shares are created in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and assigned to project collection by Visual Studio Lab Management. Use separate CreateTeamProjectLibraryShare commands to assign multiple library shares to a project.

Note
