What to do next
Import the dashboard file into another instance of vCenter Operations Manager. See “Import a Dashboard,”
on page 47.
Import a Dashboard
You can import a dashboard that was exported from another instance of vCenter Operations Manager. You
can import XML format and Java binary object (.bin) format dashboard files.
Prerequisites
Export a dashboard from another vCenter Operations Manager instance. See “Export a Dashboard,” on
page 47.
The dashboard to import must be exported from an instance that is running the same version of
vCenter Operations Manager as the target instance.
Procedure
1 Click Import on the Dashboard Tools bar.
2 Click Browse, select the exported dashboard file, and click Open.
3 Click Import to import the dashboard.
4 If the target instance contains a dashboard that has the same name as the dashboard you are importing,
click Yes to create a duplicate dashboard or click No to cancel the import.
The dashboard tab appears in the user interface after the import is finished.
