VMs in dashboard

[john.ou...@gmail.com]

I just noticed that in the "Experiments" tab on my "User Dashboard" Web page, my experiment ouster-302970 has the number '2' in the 'VMs' column. Does that indicate that VMs are in use for this experiment? As far as I know I have not asked for any VMs (and I don't want to run with them).  Here is the experiment Web page:

Your remote datasets are considered VMs internally. As I recall, you have a
couple of datasets connected in your experiment.

Ahah, that explains it. The experiment does have 2 datasets attached. Odd to consider a dataset equivalent to a VM....

Yeah, it is an implementation thing. From the perspective of the central server
a VM on the storage server is providing the iSCSI volume. It is not actually
a VM on the server but hey, we have a hammer so we made it look like a nail...
