Hi all,

 

Can we do vCenter discovery using DNS instead of IP address?

Someone from the infra team recommended that we use DNS since the IP could change.

 

Thanks,

Ravish

Hi @Ravish Shetty 

 

As per KB : KB0750033 Discovery not populating IP address field for vCenter ESX server CIs 

DNS Lookup is required to allow vCenter Discovery to collect the IP address information from the ESX servers. 

 

Also check: KB0813327 Understand vCenter Discovery process and troubleshooting
