How to add the VMs of vCD vApp to Avamar using MCCLI?
I have installed Avamat 6.1 proxy and able to browse the machine on the vCenter and add the VMs inside a vAPP of vCD. But how can I do the same thing with MCCLI?

Hello,
To add a VM client to Avamar using mccli, you can use the command 'mccli client add' with --type option as vmachine and other required parameters.
Please refer Page 55 on this document to get the entire list of options to be used with mccli client add command :

Thanks Sandeep for your reply. Do you know the port number that Avamar communicates? It also need that port number it seems. --virtual-center-port=Integer

--virtual-center-port is required when you are adding a vCenter client, the default setting should be port 443

Thanks Sudeep. It is working now. There are couple of problems in our command line. I was using double quote for folder option which was causing first problem. Also, I was using the folder pat as "/DataCenter/Resourcepool/vAppResourcePool/VM” as seen in Hosts and Clusters view of vcenter, but it should be ‘/DataCenter/ /OrgFolder/ResourcepoolFolder/vAPPResourcePoolFolder’
The following command line worked out.
mccli client add --name="TestVM3 (b3a0x79a-dc30-4613-ac6c-3f9898d9589c)" --domain=/a.b.c.d/vCenterAvmrDomain --type=vmachine --datacenter="DataCenter1" --folder=' /Org1 (28a1c468-8e3e-4739-8dfc-688b6add8d8c)/OrgvDC1 (4b0a60be-d110-404e-aa24-45d717185fe9)/vApp2 (28dcfe7e-5681-4739-8c2d-bba9e1b831db)'
