vCenter Discovery
Requirements:
1) Figure out on which host the Vcenter is hosted meaning on windows or linux.IP
2) Then get the IP address of the host and credentials for the host.
3) You also need Readonly credentials for the VMware vCenter.
4) Port which should be open on this machines is 9443 and 5480
5) If this is hosted on windows then windows creds are enough to discover that vCenter.
6) Run a quick discovery on this IP to check if we are able to discover this or not.
7) If yes then create scheduled and add IP address to schedule and you are done.
😎 If any error please trouble shoot.

9443 was dropped by VMware, since version 7 it is 5480 only.
But this is needed for classifying an IP as a vCenter. Discovery will be done through port 443 only.
