Hello, i registered my vcenter cluster into Opennebula, i would like to import some VM but the “wilds” link not showing any VM to import, i followed this link on youtube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKItYC7yRgg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKItYC7yRgg)  
Why i cannot see any VM ready to be imported? there’s some special setting for Vmware Vcenter Hosts ?  
Thanks

Hi serverx,

Under your oned.conf file did you activate the vcenter drivers?

Is the cluster in vCenter showing correctly in OpenNebula, in the ON state?

What are the names of the wild VMs in vCenter?

Checked now… in my /etc/one/oned.conf this is enabled:

IM\_MAD = [  
name = “vcenter”,  
executable = “one\_im\_sh”,  
arguments = “-c -t 15 -r 0 vcenter” ]

VM\_MAD = [  
name = “vcenter”,  
executable = “one\_vmm\_sh”,  
arguments = “-p -t 15 -r 0 vcenter -s sh”,  
default = “vmm\_exec/vmm\_exec\_vcenter.conf”,  
type = “xml” ]

Are the VMs running within a resource pool in vCenter?

Please remove the VMs from the resource pool and try again. Please let me know if that works.
