Prerequisites

Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator and as a business group
manager.
n
If you are importing virtual machines that use static IP addresses, prepare a properly configured
address pool.
Import a Virtual Machine to a vRealize Automation Environment
You can import an unmanaged virtual machine to an vRealize Automation environment so that it can be
managed by vRealize Automation.
An unmanaged virtual machine exists in a hypervisor but is not managed in a vRealize Automation
environment and cannot be viewed in the console. After you import an unmanaged machine, the machine
is managed using the vRealize Automation management interface. Depending on your privileges, you can
see the machine on the Managed Machines tab or the Items tab.
