vRealize Automation can now discover your compute resources.
Important Renaming vSphere assets after discovery can cause provisioning to fail.
Preparing an Endpoint CSV File for Import
Instead of adding endpoints one at a time by using the vRealize Automation console, you can import a list
of endpoints of various types by uploading a CSV file.
The CSV file must contain a header row with the expected fields. Fields are case sensitive and must be in
a specific order. You can upload multiple endpoints of varying types with the same CSV file. For
vCloud Director, system administrator accounts are imported, rather than organization administrator
endpoints.
