vCenter client auto discovery

This solution below provides a means to schedule the import of vCenter VMs into NetBackup Self Service (NSS). The import uses securely stored credentials to connect to a vCenter environment associated with the relevant Master Server and imports VMs from a vCenter folder which an NSS tenant has been mapped to.

The import compares a tenant’s NSS machine list with the associated vCenter folder, registering new machines for VMs found in vCenter and removing machine registrations where the VM no longer exists in vCenter (and no backup images exist for the machine in NetBackup).

A scheduled task will be created in NSS with standard options to run the import on a regular basis.
