[SIM 6.0] - Do not identify ESX guests

Danilo B — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:08:27 GMT

Hi,

I have several ESX 4.0 servers with SIM ESX agents installed running some virtual machines. When I run the discovery task, both ESX hosts and virtual machines are added to my inventory, but i DO NOT want virtual machines to be added. Is it possible to disable virtual machine discovery? (please not I am not using VMM)

Thank you for help

Just figured out the Discovery... -> General Settings -> Automatically discover VM option to do not discovery VM.

Hate to burst your bubble, but you will still see VMs popping up in your inventory if their IPs are included in your discovery ranges and they either respond to WBEM or SNMP requests from the CMS.
