VMWare license keys in Snow
Hi all, does SLM provide information about VMWare license keys that have been used for each VMWare product in customers system and their capacity (if they were excited for example)? If yes,where can I find these information, is there a report available? Thank you
hi matejag1,
Snow reads out the following attributes via VSphere connector:
Replicated virtual machine and vCenter appliance information (snowsoftware.com)
Replicated datacenter information (snowsoftware.com)
For License keys please follow Connector configuration (snowsoftware.com) for configuration
Since SIM 5.4x the vSphere connector also grabs licensekey information if the account being used has the Global | License permission.
This data is stored in the inventory database inv.clientstoragedata as part of the json string. There is no synchronisation to SLM at the moment, but with access to the database you can retrieve the information and include it into a custom report
