Regarding  https://wiki.opennms.org/wiki/Featurebranch/feature-vmware#Only_provisioning_a_subset_of_virtual_machines    :

If one needs to pass multiple parameters to import-url-resource, it is simple enough to do something like this:

import-url-resource="vmware://vmgmt.hl.ad/VCenterImport?importIPv4Only=True&importVMOnly=True&_NMS=Yes"

vmwarereqtool will happily eat that URL.

And a send-event pointing at the same URL will also succeed. Stuff getting imported.

But restarting opennms will fail, as xmllint will barf over the ampersands adding the two extra parameters.

Instead, one needs to write the URL like this:

import-url-resource="vmware://vmgmt.hl.ad/VCenterImport?_NMS=Yes%26importIPv4Only=true%26importVMOnly=true"
