Exclude VMware guests from discovery
My discovery keeps detecting virtual guests on Vmware servers. I do not have automatically discover guests and I have not registered a VM host in SIM either.
It detects the guest as a server which is one of the items I picked. I have other options to monitor vmguests so I don't want SIM to be clutered with stuff I don't need.

Re: Exclude VMware guests from discovery
I am on HP SIM 7.1 and I'm also having this problem.
I don't have "Automatically discover VM guest(s) when the host is identified." checked but the discovery process still discovers VMs that are within the IP range I specified. How can I exclude VMs from being discovered?

With SIM 7, this is set under the general setting for all discoveries. Go to Options>Discovery, then the link for Configure General Settings.
Under the exclusion list, there is a box to enter your VM hosts to skip automatic discovery of guests.

Re: Exclude VMware guests from discovery
Even with that setting unchecked, you can still get discoveries from VM's that "should not" be discovered.
My discoveries are set to manual, they don't detect vm's when run, however Vm's will show up randomlly on the list.
I discovered that the servers were built with templates that have SNMP settings pointing to the insight servers, so you might want to check SNMP on the vm's and verify there is nothing set..
I'm running 7.0 and 7.1, happening to both.
