thank you for the answer

my goal is auto-VMs_discovered-adding in a "repository group". Where NW put VMs-list after the auto-discovery? Has only the VC this list?

-Nicola

You can enable auto-discovery for your vcenter > Virtualization

Added VMs are discovered but not automatically added to your backup environment (client, group).

You have to add them manually to your backup environment

I think you have to do this with a script.

Do I understand you right?

You want that the newly made VMs are discovered and added to a backup group ind your Datazone?

Yes,it's correct. I'd like create a script for this, but i need the vm autodiscored list in order to use nsradmin..

thx

:-)

Glad to help you!

If you want to add a client for vadp backup you'll need many more opttions :-) Here the information for one VM which is backed  up in my testing environment

nsradmin>

thank you Frank. So , does NSR hypervisor show me all last discovered vms (not the nw configured vms)? is it right?

-Nicola

Perfect! Thank you again. I can do a diff between the new list and the configured vm for nw list (obtained with another simple script ) ..

-Nicola

withing the NSR hypervisor resource you can switch on that hidden options are shown:

vm list (read only, hidden)

This attribute contains names of the virtual machines found dur-

ing the last execution of the discovery command.

http://nsrd.moab.be/nwcr/nsr_hypervisor.html

So this list contains all VM Names (as shown in vCenter - vSphere Client) which were found during last discovery run

I think this list is not the best way to fullfill the requirement of auto-adding VM to your backup datazone, because not only new VMs are shown in that list.
