Datacenters adopt virtualization technology to effectively use the IT-infrastructure and substantially reduce the capital and operational expenditures. If you have adopted virtualization technology in your datacenter, Veritas Operations Manager provides you an efficient way of discovering and managing your virtual storage and infrastructure assets.

In the VMware virtualization technology that Veritas Operations Manager supports, a designated Control Host discovers the VirtualCenter servers in the datacenter. This discovery displays the ESX servers that the VirtualCenter server manages and the virtual machines that are configured on the ESX servers. Veritas Operations Manager can also discover the ESX servers that VirtualCenter servers do not manage.

In the Solaris zones virtualization technology that Veritas Operations Manager supports, the Zone agentlet that is present in the VRTSsfmh package, which is installed on a Solaris managed host discovers the Global Zones that are configured on the host. This discovery displays the non-global zones that are configured on the Global Zone.

In the Solaris LDom virtualization technology that Veritas Operations Manager supports, the LDom agentlet that is present in the VRTSsfmh package, which is installed on a Solaris managed host discovers the LDom Server that is configured on the host. This discovery displays the LDoms that are configured on the LDom Server.
