[one-users] ESX ability to see existing VMs

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Jonathan,

By register in ESX I mean that the Hypervisor is aware of the VM, even
though it may not be running. If you use VMware's Virtual
Infrastructure Client (VIC), you will be able to see which VMs are
registered in a specific ESX (if they appear in the left side's tree
view, then they are registered).

Regards,

-Tino
