Override Automatic Selection

You can configure the Select Systems page for the Reserve a Machine wizard to display a list of all the systems that meet the request. Checkmarks indicate the systems that were automatically selected to fulfill the reservation. If necessary, end users can override this preselection by choosing other systems from the list.

Users are not limited to selecting the number of systems requested on the Specify Requirements page or when the template was created. As long as the number of systems does not exceed the maximum number the user is allowed based on the resource pool policy, the selected systems are reserved.

To override automatic selection

1. As administrator in Reservation Manager, under Administer Your Reservation Manager, click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

2. Click the following link in the Reservations area:

   Machine Selection Allowed

3. Enter a value and click OK.

The configuration change takes place when the next reservation is made.
