VMware Discovery
VMware
products
such
as
ESX
Server
are
used
to
create
the
virtual
machines
in
the
form
of
a
set
of
configuration
and
disk
files
that
together
perform
all
the
functions
of
a
physical
machine.
Through
the
virtualization
platform,
you
run
the
virtual
machines,
install
operating
systems,
run
applications,
and
configure
the
virtual
machines.
This
includes
identifying
the
virtual
machine
resources,
such
as
a
storage
device.
VMware Terminology Overview
Virtual
Center
monitors
and
manages
components
of
your
virtual
and
physical
infrastructure.
These
components
are
as
follows:
Virtual
machines:
A
virtualized
x86
personal
computer
environment
in
which
a
guest
operating
system
and
associated
application
software
can
run.
Multiple
virtual
machines
can
operate
on
the
same
managed
host
machine
concurrently.
Hosts:
The
physical
computers
on
which
the
virtualization
platform
software,
such
as
ESX
Server,
is
installed.
They
are
hosts
to
the
virtual
machines.
Resources:
Selected
resources
belonging
to
the
host
and
assigned
to
the
virtual
machines
that
are
resident
on
that
host.
The
managed
resources
are
CPU,
memory,
disk
space,
and
I/O.
Virtual
Center
uses
the
resources
to
provide,
through
the
VMware
DRS
components,
various
options
for
monitoring
the
status
of
the
resources
and
adjusting
or
suggesting
adjustments
to
the
virtual
machines.
Virtual
Infrastructure
Client
(VIC):
The
UI
used
to
connect
to
the
Virtual
Center
Server.
VMware Discovery in ADM
ADM
can
discover
VMware
environment,
track
changes
in
the
environment,
and
find
dependencies
within
that
environment.

A
Virtual
Center
host
is
the
physical
machine
on
which
the
virtual
machines
are
running.
All
virtual
machines
within
the
VMware
Infrastructure
environment
are
physically
on
ESX
Server
hosts.
The
term
“host”
in
this
Help
system
refers
to
the
ESX
Server
host
that
has
virtual
machines
on
it.
