6.2.4. Moving a Virtual Machine to a Smart Pool

Users can choose to set up smart pools which are collections of the various resources. A smart pool is a collection of hardware and virtual resources that a user needs quick access to. You can move a Virtual Machine into a Smart Pool provided you have the requisite permissions.

To move a virtual machine into a smart pool:

  1. Navigate to the appropriate Virtual Machine Pool using the Navigator. The list of virtual machines and the Virtual Resource toolbar displays on the Content pane.

  2. Select the Virtual Machine pool to be moved. Ensure the check box is selected.

  3. Click Add to Smart Pool on the toolbar. The list of existing smart pools that you have permissions to displays.

  4. Select the smart pool from the list.

    The selected virtual machine is moved to the smart pool and the dialog box closes.

    Note:

    The Virtual Machine will remain in the Virtual Resource pool. It is also visible and accessible from the Smart Pool.

  5. To view the VM in the smart pool, click the smart pool in the Navigator panel. The Summary page for the smart pool displays.

  6. Click Virtual Machines on the menu bar. The moved Virtual Machine displays in the list of VMs.
