Select the virtual appliance in the VDC with the network address, or create a new virtual appliance by clicking the + Add button.
Click Accept to capture the VM
Review the General Information of the captured VM
1. Optionally select a cost code for the VM
- After capture, you can reconfigure the VM to enable remote access. On vCenter, configure WebMKS access to enable hot reconfigure of remote access on captured VMs
Configure and assign the corresponding network and IP configuration to each NIC. Select a default gateway.
Review hard disks that Abiquo will capture
After reviewing the VM configuration, click Accept to continue. The platform will now capture the VM

The captured VM will have the Release VM button on its VM details panel. The platform will now fully manage captured VM.

If the virtual appliance was deployed before the capture, the new VM will be added to the virtual appliance but no other changes will be made. If the virtual appliance was undeployed (and contained VMs) before the capture, afterwards it will be deployed and in the Partially deployed state.
