How to Register Virtual Machines on a Host

If you have virtual machine configuration files (vmc) on shared storage that have not previously been registered with Virtual Server, you can use Virtual Machine Manager to register the files on a host to create virtual machines.

Use the VMs tab in the Host Properties dialog box to register virtual machines on a virtual machine host.

To register virtual machines on a host

  1. In Hosts view, navigate to the host group that contains the host, and then, in the results pane, double-click the host.

  2. Click the VMs tab and then click Add.

  3. In the Select a virtual machine configuration (VMC) file to register dialog box, browse to the folder containing the file, click it, click OK,and then click OK again.

    After you have registered virtual machine configuration files, VMM discovers the virtual machines automatically the next time it runs a refresh. The virtual machines then appear in Virtual Machines view.
