- VMware Tools must be installed on each virtual machine you deploy. Otherwise, the virtual device will not be discovered during the VMware scan.
- For detailed statistics and system information (for example, VMware Datastore IOPS monitor), add VMware credentials to VMware VMs as well as for the vCenter server.
Note: If you delete a vCenter from WhatsUp Gold, applicable host/guest relationships will not be recognized. In order to retain these relationships, delete the host as well, then rediscover the host and add it back into WhatsUp Gold.
