User`s guide

NOTE VMware recommends that you refer to Import/Export Help to gain a thorough understanding of
the logging of Content that is not imported by Import/Export even though it is requested by the user.
Content Wizard
Unlike Import/Export, Content Wizard may be used when no user intervention is required or when you
want to connect directly to the VMware Web site for the latest Content Package updates. To start the CW
from your Collector Machine, click Start > All Programs > VMware vCenter Configuration Manager >
Tools > Content Wizard.
Before you can use Content Wizard, you must specify whether you want to Get Updates from the
Internet (which requires Internet connectivity and access beyond your local network) or Get Updates
from Local File System if you would like to select a Content Package supplied by VCM Installation
Manager. If you choose local file system, CW automatically looks in the previously mentioned Content
folder. You cannot browse to an alternate location.
As you proceed through the wizard, you can select which content packages you want to import. Be
advised that some Content Packages are very large. Therefore, in order to maximize performance and
reduce the possibility of encountering a network issue impacting the download and/or import process, we
recommend that you subdivide your imports to no more than two to three packages at a time.
Follow the wizard to completion. Since the Import/Export Merge process is transparent to the user when
using CW, you must refer to the error log for any issues regarding the download or import process.
