Note
If
the
VM
Mappings

window

does

not

di

splay

or

a

V

M

name

contains

hex

values

rather
than
certain
special

characters,

these

conditions

indicate

that

VM

names

associated

with

a

vCenter
Server
that

you

i

mported

in

to

ANM

contain

special

characters

that

ANM

does

not


recognize.
For
example,

a

VM

name

that

contains

a

double

quote

(“)

prevents

ANM

from

displaying

the
VM
Mappings

window.

If

a

VM

name

contains

a

percent

sign

(%),

backslash

(\),

or

forward

slash
(/),
ANM

displays

the

VM

name

in

the

VM

Mappings

window;

however,

these

special

characters
display
as

hex

values

(%25

for

%,

%5c

for

\

,

and

%2f

for


/).


To
correct

these

issues,

remove

the

special

characters

from

the

VM

names

and

then

manually
perform
a

CLI

synchronization

(see

Step

4).
