Agentless discovery lets you discover hosts without installing an agent on the host. The discovery provides end-to-end visibility from the file system to the spindle. Because an agent is not required, agentless discovery eliminates agent deployment and maintenance and minimizes CPU and memory consumption.

To perform agentless discovery, Veritas Operations Manager remotely accesses the host and runs discovery scripts that collect data from a host.
