Configure Remote Inventory Collection

Use the Virtualization Servers tab page to add, remove, and view the properties of virtualization servers you want to configure for remote inventory collection.

To add a virtualization server to the collect task

1. On the Virtualization Servers tab page, click Add.

   The Add the Virtualization Server to Configure dialog appears.

2. Select a Virtualization Server type and enter the appropriate details. (See Add Virtualization Servers for more detailed information.)

   Note: You can add up to five virtualization servers per collect task. If the same agent must collect data from more than five virtualization servers, you can define additional collect tasks for the same agent.

   If you want to add more than five virtualization servers per collect task, follow these steps:

   1. Close DSM explorer.
   2. Run the following command:

      ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/ammanager/hosttypesconfig -pn maxhostcountpertask -v <MAX number of hosts per task> -manager

   3. Run the DSM explorer to complete configuration.
3. Click OK.

   You are returned to the Virtualization Servers tab page.

4. If the information in the list view is correct, click OK.

   You are returned to the Select New Collect Task type dialog.

5. Click OK.

   The RVI configuration information is transferred to the specified agent computer at the next scheduled runtime.
