Clients

with

a

URL

to

access

ANM

and
retrieve
the

required

file.

ANM

uses

HTTPS

for

communication

with

the

VMware

or

all

of
the
available

addresses.

If

you

enter

a

make

sure

that

the

can

be

resolved

on

the
VMware

side

of

servers

operating

in

an

HA

configuration,

choose

the
shared
alias

IP

address

or

VIP
address
for

the

HA

pair

so

that
