Under VMs and Templates, if I select the World object/Datacenter and select the Update Manager tab -> Scan, it shows "All Applicable VMs/VAs totalling 317. We have over a thousand VM's in this Datacenter. I don't know much about the vSphere Client so I'm not sure what this folders view function is .. or if inventory items have to be added to it?
I thought VUM scanned even powered off machines? Looking forward to some feedback!
Also - I much prefer looking at organization from the Hosts and Clusters view, but it seems I can only use Host based baselines from this view.. The reason I prefer this view is because it's our true organization .. the VMs and Templates view seems to be some kind of separate logical grouping.. apologize for lack of general knowledge which could likely answer this question. Is there anyway to search for tools/hardware version non-compliance from the hosts/clusters view?
Thanks everyone
