Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

How to Discover VMware VMotion and Track Events
This task includes the following steps:
-
Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials
To connect to any server using the VIM protocol, prepare the following:
-
A connection URL, for example, https://vcserver/sdk.
-
Credentials (user name and password). A user account must be created for you on the VMware server.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
-
-
Prerequisites - Set up permissions
VMotion event-driven discovery requires special permissions for the protocol used:
-
System.Read permissions for the user performing the login, for all DFM actions. The user must be a member of the Read-Only user group.
-
-
Run the discovery
For details on running jobs, see "Module/Jobe-Based Discovery" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
-
Run the VMware vCenter Connection by VIM and VMware vCenter Topology by VIM jobs.
-
Run the VMware vMotion Monitor by VIM job. The job includes the VMware_VMotion_discovery_by_VIM adapter that listens for VM migration events collected by the VirtualCenter server.
