Symptoms

Cannot upgrade 19.7 proxies to 19.8 using PDM because proxies are not visible in PDM topology. existingProxyApps=0
Existing proxies not visible in PDM topology after creating recommendations

WARNING in MCS logs
Cannot find moref for vm at (Proxy-instance-uuid) datacenter: null

WARN in deploymanager.log
WARN  [ol-13-thread-10][   domain.DeployRecommendation#oxiesIntoTopology]: Proxy datacenter is null 

Cause

PDM cannot see any proxies inside the vCenter vApp.
This came up during the initial design of IDPA because that product deployed the internal AVProxy inside the internal vCenter vApp.
Due to this limitation, IDPA ACM deploys proxy using ovftool instead and does NOT use PDM for the internal proxy.

Resolution

Move the proxies out of the vApp container in vCenter.
