The bulk import does not support deployments that are provisioned from a blueprint that contains an NSX
network and security component or a software component.
Prerequisites
n
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. For more information about using a network profile to control IP address ranges, see
Configuring vRealize Automation.
Procedure
1 Generate a virtual machine CSV data file.
a Select Infrastructure > Administration > Bulk Imports.
b Click Generate CSV File.
c Select Unmanaged from the Machines drop-down menu.
d Select the Business group default value from the drop-down menu.
e Enter the Owner default value.
f Select the Blueprint default value from the drop-down menu.
The blueprint must be published and added to an entitlement for the import to be successful.

the CSV data file:
n
Host Reservation (Name or ID) = INVALID_RESERVATION
n
Host To Storage (Name or ID) = INVALID_HOST_RESERVATION_TO_STORAGE
These messages appear if you do not have a reservation in the selected business group for the
host virtual machine that also hosts the unmanaged virtual machine. If you have a reservation in
that business group for the unmanaged virtual machine host, the Host Reservation and Host to
Storage values fill in properly.
h Select one of the available resource types from the Resource drop-down menu.
Menu Item Description
