A Discovery schedule for VMware virtualization discovers vCenter
and ESX hosts and individual ESXi hosts that manage VMs and related components without a
vCenter.  
The following options are available for discovering VMware vCenter data:

* Discovery runs the [VMware - vCenter Datacenters](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gUqECr8~BHWc5WmkAK9gfQ "A wide variety of probes exist for the Discovery application to detect elements on your network.") probe when it identifies a VMware vCenter process running on a Windows machine or detects activity with the vmapp port probe.
* [Classic Orchestration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r-orchestration&version=australia&pubname=australia-integrate-applications&ft:locale=en-US) runs any of the vCenter probes from a workflow.
