A target environment is the hypervisor environment to which you deploy a LoadMaster profile. When you are using automated deployment, you specify the IP address and credentials used to log in to the hypervisor, as well as platform-specific parameters required to instantiate a virtual machine within that hypervisor environment.

As an optional step during automated deployment, you can save the hypervisor information specified to a named target environment that will be saved for future use. Existing target environments are displayed in the Target Environment dropdown for automated deployments, so you can select the saved deployment instead of specifying all the parameters again.

All existing saved target environments are listed on the Configuration Management > Target Environments screen in the UI, and all operations on target environments can be initiated from this page.

To set up and view target environments outside of the deployment process, navigate to Configuration Management > LoadMaster Deployment > Target Environments. Click Create New and complete the details as required.

To edit a target environment, select the target environment and click Edit. To delete the environment, select the target and click Delete. Click Delete again on the confirmation message that appears. You can select multiple environments by selecting the check box next to the Name field.
