NetBackup™ Web UI VMware Administrator's Guide

Change the autodiscovery frequency

Automatic discovery of VMware assets occurs at regular intervals. The default frequency is every 8 hours. Use this procedure to change the autodiscovery frequency.

To change the frequency of autodiscovery of VM assets

  1. On the left, click VMware, then click the Virtual machines tab.
  2. On the right, select VMware settings > Autodiscovery.
  3. Select Frequency > Edit.
  4. Use the up or down arrows to choose how often you want NetBackup to perform autodiscovery of VMware assets. Then click Save.

    The range from which you may choose is 1 hour to 24 hours. To set the autodiscovery frequency in minutes or seconds or to disable autodiscovery, you must use the VMware autodiscovery API.
