Getting Started with VCM for Virtualization
VCM collects virtualization configurations for Virtual Machine (VM) Host servers and their respective
VMs (also known as Guests) through a single console. In addition, it collects operating system and security
information for VM Host servers. Virtual machine data is displayed in the Console slider under the Virtual
Environments node, providing a logical grouping of the configurations of VM Host servers and VM
Guests. This grouping allows you to view your Virtual Environments at an enterprise level, and to drill
into the specific details. Additionally, VCM correlates virtualization data for VM Guests with their
operating system and security data from standard VCM, thus providing a holistic view of your enterprise.
Virtual Environment Configuration
VCM uses VCM-based communication channels in the form of a Remote Client Proxy to collect data from
VMware ESX/ESXi/vSphere Servers and VirtualCenter/vCenter Servers.
