When you make changes to a host, captured VMs will now behave more like deployed VMs.

types in the “Not allocated” state, without changing the state of the VMs on the hypervisor.

physical machines, the platform will automatically update all VMs from the hypervisor,

these resynchronized VMs will have the same ID and URL as before.
Note: VMs deployed from a template or instance can be recreated by deploying from that template or instance. However, as captured VMs don’t have a template, it is important to create an instance if you wish to recreate them on a new hypervisor. Remember that Abiquo’s V2V and Export features may help you to deploy on a different hypervisor type, or export to public cloud.

After adding the physical machine (or upgrading to use clusters as physical machines), the VMs are automatically recovered as captured VMs. Here the list of VMs is sorted by virtual datacenter name.
