VM Manager discovery
The Management application enables you to discover VM managers. VM Manager discovery
requires vCenter Server 4.0 or later.
NOTE
vCenter discovery time is dynamically determined based on the number of hosts being managed by
the vCenter. For every 50 hosts managed, the vCenter collection period increases 30 minutes.
For 0-50 hosts managed, the collection duration is 30 minutes; for 50-100 hosts managed, the
collection duration is one hour, and so on.
VM Manager discovery requirements
• Discovery of a vCenter server (refer to “Discovering a VM manager” on page 67, step 4 and
step 5 ), requires a vCenter user with read-only or read-write privilege on the vCenter server
node and all objects in the inventory below the vCenter server.
• Enabling the vSphere client plug-in registration (refer to “Discovering a VM manager” on
page 67, step 6 ), requires a vCenter user with, at minimum, the following read-write privileges
on the vCenter server node and all objects in the inventory below the vCenter server:

- Extension > Unregister extension
- Extension > Update extension
