Virtualization

The Virtualization node and corresponding pane display information about discovered virtual machine guests and virtual machines, which are listed in the Virtual Machine Guests and Virtual Machines subfolders, respectively. Note that the term virtual machines is a generic term, not used just for VMware virtual machines.

Note: The availability of this node depends on whether the asset is a virtual host or not. Additionally, the inventory information available in this pane depends on the host type: HP, IBM, Sun, or VMware.

For example, this pane contains the following columns for Sun virtual hosts:
