Procedure

1 Select Infrastructure > Infrastructure Organizer > Bulk Imports.

2 Click Generate CSV File.

3 Select the machine type from the Machines drop-down menu.

Option Description

Managed Virtual machine is managed in a vRealize Automation deployment and can be

viewed in the console. Select this option if you are updating a machine or

migrating from one environment to another.

Unmanaged Virtual machine exists in a hypervisor but is not managed in a

vRealize Automation deployment and cannot be viewed in the console. Select this

option if you are importing a virtual machine.

4 Select the Business group default value.

5 Select the Owner default value.

6 Select the Blueprint default value.

If you select Unmanaged for the machine type and select a value for Business group and

Blueprint, you might see the following results in the CSV data file:

Host Reservation (Name or ID) = INVALID_RESERVATION

Host To Storage (Name or ID) = INVALID_HOST_RESERVATION_TO_STORAGE

This happens when you do not have a reservation in the selected business group for the host

machine that also hosts the unmanaged machine. If you have a reservation in that business group for

the unmanaged machine's host, the Host Reservation and Host To Storage values fill in properly.
