Note
For
the

CSM

and

CSM-S,

the

VM

name

must

be

in

uppercase

because

the

CSM

and

CSM-S
real
server

names

are

always

in

upper

case

and

the

mapping

is

case

sensitive

though

the

CSM
and
CSM-

is

case

insensitive.

can

detect

when

VMs

are

added

or

to

a

VMware

vCenter

Server

by

listening

to

the

or

by

When

a

new

ANM

uses

the

match
the

new

VM

with

a

real

server.
