Managing Cloud Infrastructure Discovery
The CloudSync Infrastructure Discovery service provides Cloud Provider Technical Administrators, a means for

When objects are first discovered, most are placed into Discovered state, while others are auto-Registered (data centers,
clusters, hosts, resource pool, port groups, and UCS VLANs). All may be transitioned into service (Registered), rejected
(Ignored), or set aside for future use (Maintenance).
