installed are displayed.

To discover any VMs belonging to the VM hosts that you discovered, continue with
Section 2.5, “Discovering VMs of the Registered VM Hosts,” on page 22 .
2.5 Discovering VMs of the Registered VM Hosts
You can use the VMs you have previously created or the VMs you have built by using other
hypervisors in your data center. To make use of these VMs, you need to run a
discover job . You use
the VM Client to detect the VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware Server, VMware Virtual
Center, and SUSE
®
Xen VM host machines. After you have detected the host machines, you can
detect the VMs contained on the host machines and in other VM storage repositories.
The only VMs that are automatically discovered are those that are stored in the default location of
/
var/lib/xen/images
, unless an Orchestrate repository is created that represents an alternative
storage location.
Before discovering the VMware technology-based VMs, ensure that the appropriate policies have
been configured in the Orchestrate Development Client. For more information on configuring the
policies, see “
Configuring Policies for VM Provisioning Adapters ” in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0
Virtual Machine Management Guide .
To discover the VMs belonging to the registered VM Hosts:
1 In the VM Client , click Actions > Discover Virtual Machines .
2
To accept the discovered VMs, continue with Section 2.6, “Registering VMs,” on page 22 .
2.6 Registering VMs
If you install the Orchestrate Agent on a VM, it must then be registered (accepted) in order to be
managed in the VM Client.
In the Orchestrate Development Client, you can choose to automatically or manually register a VM
to the Orchestrate Server by configuring the
Auto Register Agents option (the Resources panel in the
Authentication tab of the datagrid). If you choose to manually register to the Orchestrate Server, the
unregistered VMs are displayed in the VM Client in the Discovered (#) group.
To register a VM:
1 In the VM Client , double-click the Virtual Machines view.
