Adding VM created outside of CS

[Michael Phillips <mp...@hotmail.com>]

So I've been pondering something. Has anyone ever added a VM that was created outside of the CS UI? For example what if I created a VM using the vcenter interface, but I then wanted that VM to be managed inside of CS?
I could see this being a use case if I wanted to P2V a machine...

I would make that VM a template and add it to CS.

Thats pretty much how I have created a Ubuntu 10.04 PV instance on a
standalone XenServer. This template was later imported into CS.
