One of the coolest function is VMware vCenter integration in DCO. I'm also using it and in the desktop client the search for virtual machines is working fine. With it I can find the physical location of a running VM.

This search is not working in web client. Can you please confirm it is known bug? Can you please fix it?

Thanks.

Hi Mate,

Hopefully not disappointing you, but that is not a bug - as far as I know, web-client doesn't support showing associated devices/virtual machines (so they cannot be searched).

Kind regards

Hi Jef,

Thanks for this information but to be honest I'm quite disappointed. We can agree that there is no comprehensive and fully functioning search in non of the GUI:

desktop client search only in opened rooms
web based client is not searching in associated devices

It means our users have to use both clients and to find an associated device (e.g. serial number of a Cisco UCS blade) requires to open all the rooms in the desktop version. It is pretty inconvenient if we have 40+ rooms in the database.

Is there any intention in the future developement to implement a fully functional search at least in one of the GUI?

Regards,

Mate
