Vmware Servers in CMDB

We are not using discovery but want to begin inputing our Configuration items. We are 90% Vmware and want to enter each of our virtual machines (Windows and Linux virtual servers) into the CMDB. If we add them under the Windows Server class it wants asset and serial number information which a virtual machine doesn't have. it also then creates a blank asset record. If we add them as a Vmware Virtual Instance it doesn't ask for Operation system and other important information. Is there a way we should do this out of the box or are we going to have to customize the CI classes?

I finally figured out a solution that worked for preventing Assets with virtual machines but allowing creation for physical.



SCCM2012 integration is creating assets out of vmware instances
