When ESX is Discovered via vCenter, BIOS information cannot be retrieved

[_Yash24]

Hi,

ESX is directly Discovered, Is there a possibility of obtaining BIOS information?

I would like to find out how to customize the system to solve this problem.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Hi Yash

vCenter Discovery Do not Use Typical Pattern Object for Discovery where small customization (Extend Pattern) can fetch custom objects/Attributes.

vCenter Discovery and Identification works totally on Separate Line as given in this KB-

You need to do customization for ESX Bios Information in below Probe.

and Sensor too which will process the newly added attribute. Just a high level thought.

Hi @Rahul Priyadars, 
It seems difficult to me to update the existing script include rather I'm still confused how it can be done.
Is there any other way to do it?

Thanks,

I will also suggest not to Do Customization in OOTB way of ESX Discovery. 

You can add your Solution on Top of It. 

is there a way to get the BIOS info feed in some form XLS and from there you can Update the CI ..just a thought.
