vCloud AIM Instance Status Icon Shows Discovery in Progress

Symptom:

After I have added a vCloud AIM instance for a vCloud Server under Administration, Configuration, the status icon shows (Discovery in Progress).

Solution:

Wait until the discovery process of the vCloud environment has completed. The discovery duration depends on the amount of managed objects related to virtual resources in vCloud. You can hover the cursor over the icon to display a tooltip that indicates the number of outstanding discovery requests. When the discovery job has completed, CA Server Automation adds a vCloud Server folder to the Resources tree. Then you can start managing vCloud and its entire virtual infrastructure.
