Importing
VMware

vCenter

Servers
This
section

shows

how

to

import

VMware

vCenter

Servers

that

are

part

of

a

VMware

virtual

datacenter
containing
vi

rtual

machines

(VM).

When

you

import

a

VMware

vCenter

Ser

ver,

ANM

discovers

t

he
following
network

entities

associated

with

the

server:

datacenters,

VMs,

and

hosts

(VMware

ESX
servers).
During
the

VMware

vCenter

Server

import

process,

you

can

enable

the

ANM

plug-in

that

allows

you

to
access
ANM

ACE

real

server

functionality

from

a

VMware

vSphere

Client.

Registering

the

plug-in
provides
the

client

with

a

URL

to

access

ANM

and

retrieve

the

required

XML

definition

file.

ANM

uses
HTTPS
for

communication

with

VMware

vCenter

Server.
