Using Application Discovery Manager in
VCM
After configuring your integration with ADM, you can now access ADM's rich application details and
dependency maps while working in VCM.
As a dependency discovery tool, ADM enhances VCM's view of machines and machine relationships
before implementing changes in the network. The ADM discovered data, which is very detailed, is read-
only. By using ADM with VCM, you will be able to view deep details about a machine (View ADM Details)
and view the relationships between machines (View ADM Map) while still using VCM to manage changes.
Machine Group Synchronization
The ADM data is synchronized with the ADM external database, which is then reconciled with VCM data.
The machine reconciliation is based on the MAC address, machine name, and IP address. After the
machine data is reconciled, ADM's groups are replicated in VCM as Machine Groups.
To view the ADM machine group, click
Administration | Machine Manager | Machine Groups | All
Machines | vCenter Application Discovery Manager
. The
vCenter Application Discovery Manager
data grid appears, displaying the groups. Double-click the group to display the detailed machine data grid
for each group.
