This section describes how the virtual machines are added to Power Manager virtual machine monitoring list.
2.1 Adding virtual machines to Power Manager
When a host server is added to Power Manager, and after the first metric collection of that server, the virtual
machines hosted on that server are automatically added to Power Manager’s Virtual Machines list. And, the
virtual machine data is updated or refreshed after each metric collection cycle.
Note: You cannot add the virtual machines manually to Power Manager’s Virtual Machines list.
Note: Ensure that the server (iDRAC) with valid license and the hypervisor (host operating system) of the
supported versions are discovered in OpenManage Enterprise.
Note: Ensure that the credentials provided to discover the hypervisor have Administrator privileges.
