Import Nodes from a vCenter/ESX Server

Using this import method, you can import virtual machine nodes from the ESX or vCenter server. This option lists all the virtual machines that are detected on the specified server, even if they are already being managed in Arcserve Unified Data Protection.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Add nodes by drop-down list, select Importing from vCenter/ESX.
2. Specify the vCenter/ESX server details, and click Browse.

   In the left pane, a node tree is displayed.

3. Expand the node tree.

   (Optional) You can type the node name in the filter field to locate the node in the tree.

4. Select the nodes that you want to add, and then click Add to List.

   The selected nodes are added to the right pane.

5. Select the nodes and click Save.

   The nodes are added and displayed on the Nodes: All Nodes page.
