esx4.1 copied files

[GoodMorningDave]

So vmware t/s had me 'copy' the vm to another host.

In vCenter how does one add the already created vm and fire it up?

:smileyconfused:

Open up the Datastore Browser and browse the VM folder. Right- click the .vmx file in there and select "Add to Inventory"..

Hi,

To register a virtual  machine in vCenter Server:

1. Open the vSphere / VMware  Infrastructure (VI) Client and log in with appropriate credentials.
2. If connecting to vCenter  Server, click on the desired host.
3. Click  the Configuration tab.
4. Click  Storage.
5. Right-click on the  appropriate datastore and click Browse Datastore.
6. Navigate to the folder  named after the virtual machine, and locate the <virtual machine>.vmx  file. 
7. Right-click the .vmx file and click Add to  inventory. The  Add to Inventory wizard opens. 
8. Continue to follow the  wizard to add the virtual machine.

                    OR

To register a virtual  machine from a command line:

1. Log in as root to the ESX  host with an SSH client.
2. Run the  command:
   
   #  vmware-cmd -s register <full path to virtual machine>\<virtual machine  name>.vmx
