If you are importing many virtual machines, select the total number of virtual machines to register at a given time. Selecting this menu item slows the import process. If you are importing many virtual machines, select the number of seconds to delay each virtual machine registration. The chosen start time is the local server time and not the local time of the user workstation. Enter the CSV filename in the CSV file text box by browsing to the CSV filename.Enter a unique name for this task in the Name text box, for example, unmanaged import 10.Select Infrastructure > Administration > Bulk Imports.Use the vRealize Automation management interface to import your virtual machine to a vRealize Automation environment.If the address cannot be found or is already in use, the import succeeds without the static IP address definition, and an error is logged. In order for this custom property to work, the IP address must be available in a properly configured address pool. Because this particular property is used only by bulk import, it is removed from the virtual machine after a successful import. The HOP flag string-Hidden, Not encrypted, Not Runtime-sets the visibility of the property. Change w.x.y.z to be the static IP address for the virtual machine.Change # to the number of the network interface being configured with this static IP address.You change the variables with the appropriate information for your virtual machine. ,VirtualMachine.Network #.Address, w.x.y.z, HOP HeadingĬhange to No to prevent a particular virtual machine from being imported.Įnter the name or ID of a reservation in the target vRealize Automation environment.Įnter the name or ID of a storage location in the target vRealize Automation environment.Įnter a new name for the deployment, for example, the virtual machine name, you are creating in the target vRealize Automation environment. You can change the values for reservation, storage location, blueprint, and owner, or add a static IP address value to individual virtual machines by editing the CSV file. Owner that exists in the target deploymentĪll the values for each virtual machine must be present in the target vRealize Automation environment for the import to succeed.To import virtual machines contained in a CSV data file, each virtual machine must be associated with the following items: Open the CSV file, and edit the data categories to match existing categories in the target vRealize Automation environment.Edit your virtual machine CSV data file.Select the name of the virtual machine resource from the Name drop-down menu.Information required to access a group of virtual machines performing a similar function. Information required to access a virtualization host.

Select one of the available resource types from the Resource drop-down menu.If you have a reservation in that business group for the unmanaged virtual machine host, the Host Reservation and Host to Storage values fill in properly. These messages appear if you do not have a reservation in the selected business group for the host virtual machine that also hosts the unmanaged virtual machine. Host To Storage (Name or ID) = INVALID_HOST_RESERVATION_TO_STORAGE.Host Reservation (Name or ID) = INVALID_RESERVATION.Blueprint, you might see the following results in the CSV data file:
