Any Container is configured by means of its own Container sample (a configuration file used as an archetype to reproduce all its settings for a Container based on it). The Apply Sample to Container page enables you to change the Container sample the Container is based on and, thus, to change all the resources the Container may consume and/or allocate at once.
In the
Original Container Sample
table at the top of the page, you can view the name and description of the current Container sample the Container is based on (
the information is not available currently for the Containers running the Windows operating system).
The Select Container Sample table allows you to choose another configuration sample to base the Container on by selecting the radio button against the corresponding Container sample. All available Container samples listed are supplied with the following information: the name and brief description of the Container sample.
To facilitate working with Container samples, you may have the Select Container Sample table display only those Container samples that have the corresponding name or a certain word in their description. On top of the table, press the Show Search link to display the fields where you can specify the parameters the given Container sample should meet; then click on the Search link. To view all available Container samples, click on the Reset Results link to the right of the Search link. You can have Parallels Infrastructure Manager display only those parameters you need at the moment. To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link and select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not.
The
Advanced Configuring Options
group allows you to have the Container restarted if the parameters setup for the selected sample requires restarting.
Note : Before applying a new Container sample to a Container, make sure you are aware of the resource values defined in this Container sample and to be set for the Container. Detailed information on Container samples is provided in the Managing Container Samples section .
