VMware backup host is not displayed as it is except in Master server host properties -> VMware Access Hosts(where you add it).

Just proceed next step - restart NetBackup, add VMware credentials in [Media and Device Management]-[Credentials]-[Virtual Machine Servers], restart NetBackup, and configure backup policies for VM backups.

[V4]

NBU only shows hosts if they are added in any of policies (active or deactive state)

For Media Server You must registed host with nbemmcmd -add host (verify with nbemmcmd -getemmserver)

You are on right track

Just proceed with further configuration as outlined in admin guide

add credentials, recycle NBU services

configure VMware backup policy
