After the CM agent has detected a virtual guest on a device it collects the following basic information about this guest:
- Virtual device name
- MAC address
- Guest member ID
- Descriptive or friendly name of the virtual device
- Operating system
The agent also collects different types of inventory, however you cannot view these data in the current view. To view the collected inventory you need to create a group collecting the required virtual machines and under these you can view the inventories, either as a group or individually.
- Hardware inventory
- Software inventory
You can execute the following actions on the guest members of a device:
- Remotely access the virtual machine
- Access its inventory summary
- Start, stop, pause and resume the machine
- Display its properties
- Use the Direct Access Tools
