Replicated virtual machine and vCenter appliance information
The VMware vSphere connector creates Inventory files using the SnowXML schema for each virtual machine. The following tables list the properties that are used in the SnowXML file and what information from VMware vSphere they are populated with.
Introduced in version 5.38, the vSphere connector also includes a full set of VM inventory data for the vCenter appliance.
