VM Manager discovery

The Management application enables you to discover VM managers. VM Manager discovery
requires vCenter Server 4.0 or later.
NOTE
vCenter discovery time is dynamically determined based on the number of hosts being managed by
the vCenter. For every 50 hosts managed, the vCenter collection period increases 30 minutes.
For 0-50 hosts managed, the collection duration is 30 minutes; for 50-100 hosts managed, the
collection duration is one hour, and so on.
