About adding a host for discovery of VMware servers
Resiliency Platform uses a designated discovery host to discover a VMware vCenter Server. This discovery displays those ESX servers that the VMware vCenter Server manages and the virtual machines that are configured on the ESX servers.
You can use the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) as the discovery host, or you can add a separate host to use for discovery of a vCenter server.
For example, you may want to designate a separate host to address the following situations:
To discover a vCenter server that is behind a firewall and you do not want to install the IMS inside the firewall.
To reduce the discovery load on the IMS for better scalability.
To designate a separate host as the discovery host for a vCenter Server:
Add a discovery host to Resiliency Platform.
Select the host as the discovery host when you add the vCenter Server to Resiliency Platform.
