  • This feature is only available for IncrediBuild Enterprise Edition users.
  • The number of concurrent "single-use" VMs that can be connected to the Coordinator is only limited by the number of IncrediBuild Agents available in your IncrediBuild license.
  • In the current phase of this feature, if a VM is not allocated with a core package or a solution due to insufficient core packages or solutions in your IncrediBuild license, there won't be a specific indication for that once the VM is provisioned and connects to the Coordinator. The Agent will simply either be un-subscribed or won't be assigned with the core packages or solutions that are not available.
  • A single-use VM will be considered destroyed once it's offline to the Coordinator for a longer duration than the timeout that was defined.

Reset Single-Use VM 

When changes in the image configuration are required, such as Windows updates or installation of an additional software, the image needs to be re-saved in order to apply the new changes. Saving an image after the IncrediBuild Agent service was run and has connected to the Coordinator will cause the Coordinator to unsubscribe any new instance that would be provisioned from this image.
In order to prevent this, a reset of the Single-Use VM image is needed before saving the image. The setting 'Reset Single-Use VM'  in the Coordinator monitor allows the Coordinator to "forget" the image and allows saving the image in a state that instances provisioned from it would be able to connect to the Coordinator.
After resetting the Single-Use VM, the IncrediBuild Agent service on the VM will be stopped. In this stage, the image can be saved. Note that activating the Agent service again before saving the image, will render it incapable to connect once again.

In order to activate the reset Single Use VM setting, please follow these steps:

  1. Open the Coordinator monitor.
  2. Right-click on the relevant Single-Use VM→Reset Single-Use VM.

  3. After resetting the Single-Use VM, the Agent service in the VM has been stopped. Now the Image can be saved.
