Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager lets you discover information about Hyper-V virtual machines. For example, the name of the virtual machine, allocated memory, CPU, state, and the storage exported (virtual hard disks and pass through disks) from Hyper-V server to Hyper-V guest. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager discovers all virtual machines including the virtual machines without the guest operating system installed.
Agent and agentless discoveries of Hyper-V virtual machines are supported. However, for the agentless method, the discovered information is limited. To discover more information about the configured virtual machines, the agent discovery method should be used. It provides detailed information about the virtual machines.
For more information on agent and agentless discovery, see the Veritas Operations Manager Management Server Administrator's Guide
Virtual machine discovery prerequisites are as follows:
The VRTSsfmh
package should be installed on the Hyper-V server (parent partition).
The Hyper-V role should be enabled.
The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service should be running.
