STEP 4: View WhatsVirtual reports

Workspace reports

The following reports have been added to WhatsUp Gold to provide information about your virtual environment.

• Virtual Server. This home and device level workspace report provides a list of all the virtual machines managed by a virtual server. The virtual server may be a vCenter server or VMware host.
• Virtual Server List. This device level workspace report provides system attributes for the virtual server, hardware information for VMware hosts, and a list of the virtual devices managed by the virtual server. The virtual server may be a vCenter server or a VMware host.

  Note: Hardware information will be displayed only if the selected device is a VMware host for which credentials were supplied and selected during a VMware scan.
