Finishing up with VI Client

correct, and that VMware Tools are running.
NOTE: If VMware Tools show “out of date” or “Unmanaged,” they are running correctly.
The “out of date” or “Unmanaged” status is not a problem. VMware Tools are updated with
each LeftHand OS software upgrade.
After installation, click Find→Find Systems in the CMC and enter the Failover Manager IP address
to discover the Failover Manager, and then add it to a management group. See “Adding a storage
system to an existing management group” (page 116) for more information.
