Discovering a virtualized Oracle server

Question

I am about to discover a virtualized Oracle server for the first time.  The SP Installation guide says this: The server must be under Host Configuration so the ASM Script (oracle-asmdisk. pl for Linux and ASMDiskDetection.ps1 for Windows) can be pushed to the server to retrieve the internal Disk/Array WWN information. I have questions.  If the database isn't configured as ASM,can I skip all of this?  Since the server is a VirtualMachine, should I try to set up some sort of minimal discovery process?  Is it even possible to set up a second Generic-RSC instance on a collector?

Hey Sam:

in the sp guide, on page 245, is states:

Under Centralized Management > Discovery Center > Devices Management, ensure that there is an entry for the same Oracle server under both Oracle Database and Host Configuration.

You could discover the vm as a physical host and it should then download the script.

Thanks
