26.5 Excluding or Including a VMware Host Resource

Discovered host resources for a target VMware vCenter Server are available in the list of resources available for migration. You can use the Exclude action on the Hosts tab in the Platform dialog to hide specified hosts in migration configuration menus. The excluded resource appears dimmed in the Platform Associations list. Excluded resources do not appear in other dialogs for planning.

NOTE:You should set up exclusions before users begin configuring migrations to the target platform. Transformation Manager automatically removes previously configured associations for the excluded resource, including those assigned to workloads that are in progress and completed.

To exclude an individual Host resource for a target VMware platform:

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Platforms, select the platform, then click Edit.

  2. Under Associations, select the Hosts tab.

  3. Select the appropriate host, click Exclude, then click Yes to confirm the exclusion.

You can use Include to enable an excluded host. Including the previously excluded resource does not reinstate any prior associations it had before you excluded it.
