VCL can provision Linux and Unix computers from a tradional computing lab when the lab is closed. This page describes how to configure the lab computers and VCL to use the Lab.pm provisioning module.


The Lab.pm provisioning module is used to broker access to standalone pre-installed Linux or Solaris machines. These machines could be in an existing walk-in computer lab or racked in a server room. VCL does not install these nodes. It controls which user is allowed to remotely connect to the node during a given time period.

There are four main parts needed to setup a standalone machine to use with the Lab.pm module.
