Unpatched VMware vSphere known problems Unpatched versions of VMware vSphere have known problems when scanned by various tools. We strongly recommend that you apply the appropriate patches to affected systems. There is more information on this issue on the following Configipedia link. VMware vSphere based discovery VMware vSphere based discovery of VMware ESX and ESXi hosts is a part of the overall discovery methodology of ESX and ESXi hosts that is outlined in Discovering VMware ESX and ESXi hosts. It takes place as follows: Discovery checks that ports 443 (HTTPS) and 902 (VMware Authentication Daemon) are open. The initial connection is a web services request to port 902 to ensure that the vSphere API is available. The vSphere discovery method then attempts to access the vSphere API using port 443. The API calls described on the vSphere API Support page at Administration => Discovery Platforms => VMware ESX or VMware ESXi are used to discover the system. If the API is not contacted then discovery falls back to an ssh login as used in previous BMC Atrium Discovery versions.
