About KVM discovery

NetBackup automatically starts the discovery of the KVM virtual machines when you add a KVM host to NetBackup. Autodiscovery also occurs at set intervals. (The default interval is every 8 hours.)

You can change the autodiscovery frequency.

See Change the autodiscovery frequency of KVM assets.

To discover the VMs immediately, see the following topic:

See Discover KVM host assets manually.
