About Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization discovery
Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft. The Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) can discover Hyper-V host and virtual machine-related information if the Hyper-V role is enabled on the host. The Hyper-V WMI API and Windows PowerShell commandlets are used for the discovery.
Hyper-V discovery can be grouped into the following categories:
Virtual machine discovery: Discovery of the Hyper-V virtual machines and its correlation with the Hyper-V server.
When you add the Hyper-V server to the IMS, IMS discovers all virtual machines including the virtual machines without the guest operating system installed.
Exported storage discovery: Discovery of storage that is provisioned to the guests and its correlation with the virtual machine and Hyper-V server.
IMS discovers the storage provisioned to the guests from the host's local storage, or storage area network (SAN). The Hyper-V guest, when added to the IMS domain, provides storage mapping discovery.
