Adding a virtualization server

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager, you must add the virtualization servers to let a Control Host discover the virtual servers. You can add the virtualization servers for VMware discovery, or HMC discovery.
The VMware discovery provides the following information:
  • Information on VirtualCenter servers
  • Information on the ESX servers that the VirtualCenter server manages
  • Information on the virtual machines that are configured on the ESX servers
The HMC discovery provides the following information:
  • Information on HMC servers
  • Information on the LPAR servers that the HMC server manages
  • Information on the virtual machines that are configured on the LPAR servers
After you add a virtualization server, to view all ESX servers that the VirtualCenter server manages, click vCenter under Data Center. Similarly to view all the LPAR servers that the HMC server manages click HMC under Data Center.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the Management Server perspective. The root user can also perform this task.
