View AM Remote Agents and Virtual Hosts

Only AM remote agents can collect virtual host inventory data. You must know the AM remote agents and virtual hosts in your environment so that you can decide the virtual hosts you want to assign to each AM remote agent. For example, you have nine virtual hosts and want to assign three hosts per AM remote agent. You can view all the AM remote agents and hosts available and can decide the hosts that you want to assign to each AM remote agent.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Queries node in DSM Explorer and select New.

   The Select Target dialog opens.

2. Select Computers and click OK.

   The Query Designer dialog opens.

3. Navigate to Insert Argument, General Information from the Query and select Computer.

   • View All Virtual Hosts
