Thanks.

Hi Lee,
has this feature been included in IAC 4.0?
I can't find it in the documentation, can you eventually point me at any docs?
I assume that on IAC 3.1 the user still needs to import VMs by working in the Service Item MAnager in PSC and assigning the Virtual Server to its owner.
Thanks,
Luca

The feature is now part of IAC 4.0 and discovered VMs are managed through the Manage Infrastructure portlet. Discovery of existing VMs occurs on a scheduled basis.
