Update VM Information

Using Arcserve UDP, you can update some of the properties of the VM nodes from their hypervisors. You can trigger the update manually or automatically. The following properties of the VM nodes are updated and synchronized with their corresponding VMs in the hypervisor:

• Node Name
• VM Name
• OS

To manually trigger the update, use the Update VM Information option.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the resources tab.

   The Nodes: All Nodes page is displayed.

2. From the center pane, click the Actions drop-down list, and then click Update VM Information.

   The Update VM Information dialog opens.

3. Click OK.

   You have triggered a manual discovery and that updates the virtual machine nodes.

The auto update feature is triggered automatically when you perform the following actions:

• Open the resource tab on the Console.
• Send a scheduled report.

Note: Even if you trigger multiple automatic updates, only one automatic update runs at a time. The remaining automatic updates are put in a queue.
