Bring Virtual Machines under vRealize Automation Management
You can import existing virtual machines by assigning them to business groups, reservations, blueprints,
and owners.
Note You can edit multiple elements at the same time by clicking the pin icon ( ) and then editing one of
your selections. The changes you make are applied to all of the selections you pinned.
Prerequisites
