Naturally, there will be additional VMs created within the VMWare environment. As such, we will need the new machines to be reflected in ACI.
We can do this manually.
- From the
VM Networking
tab, open up theVMWare
menu, and click on the switch that was created earlier. - Right-click on the
vCenter
name in theProperties
window.
- Select
Trigger Inventory Sync
.
- Click on
YES
to the message that pops up.
When we trigger the inventory sync, ACI polls the connected vCenter servers and pulls in a list of all the virtual machines.
Here are the statistics before the sync:
Notice that ACI sees 10 virtual machines.
After the update, we can see 11 virtual machines.
