Click View Refresh in the Devices view to:
• View the virtual machines’ names in the Device Details page of the host;
if you have discovered the host before the virtual machines.
• Move the virtual machines’ names from
Unknown to Guest Devices under
VMware ESX Server in the device tree; if you have discovered the virtual
machine before the host.
NOTE: Right-click the host name and select Refresh Inventory if the virtual
machine state has changed, or if you have moved the virtual machine to a different
host.
Starting with IT Assistant 8.1, you can generate reports of virtual machines
using the pre-defined virtual machine report. For more information,
see "Custom Reporting" on page 176.
Dell Client Manager Launch
IT Assistant displays Dell Client Manager (DCM) launch point for those devices
that have Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation 7.4 or later installed.
NOTE: The IT Assistant user interface should be running on a Microsoft Windows
operating system for the DCM Web page to display.
You can discover client systems by providing the required CIM credentials in
the Discovery wizard. See "Configuring Discovery Settings" on page 103 for
more information. The discovered systems will display under Clients in the
device tree. Right-click the device and select DCM Launch under Application
Launch to open the:
• DCM Web page
• DCM feature definition page, if the device is not managed by an
instance of DCM
Exporting and Importing Tasks
The export/import feature allows you to export the task configuration
information for the selected tasks in IT Assistant to an XML file. You can
import this file to a new network environment where IT Assistant is installed,
instead of recreating and reconfiguring the tasks.
