Description
Reserve <xx> load generators/hosts...

The number of automatch load generators/hosts to reserve for the timeslot.

Note: Performance Testing timeslots: The total number of hosts (Controller + load generators) reserved for the timeslot may not exceed the LoadRunner Enterprise host and host pool limits of the project, as defined in the project's settings. For details, see View and edit Lab Management project settings.

Tip: To select multiple automatch load generators/hosts with the same properties, you can do one of the following:

  • In the Reserve <xx> box, enter 1, and select the relevant properties. Repeat this for the other automatch load generators/hosts. If you do this five times, for example, then five identical automatch load generators/hosts are displayed in the Requested Hosts grid.

  • In the Reserve <xx> box enter the number of automatch load generators/hosts you want to select with the same properties. For example, enter 5. One entry is displayed in the Requested Hosts grid, representing all five automatch load generators/hosts.
