Virtual Machines Discovery
The result of the discovery is displayed as a table composed of three parts:
• the left column allows you to select the VMs to be associated to the platform
• the center part displays Virtual Machine Configuration as defined on the VMware ESX
server
• the right part allows you to edit the main properties (name, network name and OS) of
the corresponding NSMaster host. The host can be edited only if the corresponding
VM is selected. You can select an already defined host by clicking the Select button or
you can create a host by completing the corresponding fields.
Note:
When you select an already defined host, you cannot change its network name and OS. But
the Select contains a Default Option corresponding to the VM name, that can be edited. If the
VM name contains space(s), they are replaced by underscore(s) in the host label.
