To configure inventory collection for VMware ESX hosts, create a virtual host inventory collect task using the DSM Explorer.
To access the VMware ESX Web Service, you must supply the logon credentials for an ESX host machine. The credentials must be for a user of a VMware ESX host who has the VMware system role of Administrator or Read-only.
Specifies the name of the ESX host for which asset management inventory is to be collected. An IP address can also be supplied.
Specifies the name of a VMware ESX user who has the VMware system role of Administrator or Read-only.
Requires the password corresponding to the specified Web Service Username.
Indicates the Web Service URL, which takes the following form:
https://ESXHostFQDNservername/sdk
ESXHostFQDNservername represents the fully qualified host name of the ESX server. Alternatively, an IP address can be given instead of the host name.
ESX inventory collection is done using the Web Service (SOAP) engine. By default, the Web Service runs on port 443 as a secure web service that can be accessed using SSL over HTTPS.
