Bring Virtual Machines under vRealize Automation Management
A fabric administrator imports existing virtual machines and assigns them to business groups,
reservations, and users.
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

The memory and storage allocated to the reservation you assigned to the imported machines is
increased by exactly the amount the imported machines consume.
10 (Optional) Select Increase Quota.
The machine quota on the reservation you assigned to the imported machines is increased by exactly
the number of virtual machines you import.
