Because the virtual applications are packaged by the end user, it is expected that the vast majority of virtual applications in an environment will be known to the DSM administrator, and therefore, appropriate software definitions can be created. However, it is possible that images could be missed, or introduced from a foreign source.
The signature scanner is capable of reporting virtual application images that are discovered but do not match any known software definitions. This capability is disabled by default, and must be enabled in the signature scanner configuration, which is accessible from the Collect Tasks node in the DSM Explorer.
Unknown virtual application images are reported in the agent, Software, Unknown subnode under each computer listed in the DSM Explorer. The virtualization technology of the package is reported. If the discovered unknown virtual application image is determined by the DSM administrator to be known, a virtual application image definition for the image can be automatically created. If not, the DSM administrator can take corrective action to investigate the unknown package further.
Note: For more information about unknown virtual application images and creating software definitions for them, see the Asset Management section of the DSM Explorer Help.
