Add the Discovered Citrix XenServer AIM Instance

After adding a Citrix XenServer connection to the CA Virtual Assurance manager, add an AIM instance to manage the Citrix XenServer.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Virtual Assurance user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

2. Select Citrix XenServer from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the Discovered Citrix XenServer AIM Instances pane toolbar.

   The Add Citrix XenServer AIM dialog appears.

4. Select the Citrix XenServer AIM Server from the drop-down list.

   The list of discovered XenServer AIM Servers appears. If you have installed the XenServer AIM on the local system, the name of the local system appears in the list too.

5. Select the Citrix XenServer from the drop-down list.

   CA Virtual Assurance populates the XenServer drop-down list with the XenServers listed in the Registered Citrix XenServers pane. You can only manage those XenServers for which your CA Virtual Assurance manager has a valid connection established.

   Note: If the AIM resides on a remote system, CA Virtual Assurance must discover the system first. After discovery, the AIM server appears in the drop-down list.

6. Click OK.

   A new AIM instance for the selected Server is added. If the instance is not in an error or in a stopped state, CA Virtual Assurance starts to discover the associated environment. When the discovery process is complete, you can start managing your Citrix XenServer environment.
