Run an inventory discovery

Inventory discovery lets you scan and list VMware virtual machine (VM) instances, AWS assets, and Azure VM instances by using the Migration Center discovery client CLI. To discover VM instances and databases in your on-premises environment, use guest discovery or an IP range scan.

For VMware VM instances and Azure VM instances, the mcdc CLI collects data such as the operating system, storage configuration, the number of cores, and performance data.

For AWS assets, the mcdc CLI collects data based on the AWS service. For more information, see Data collected during inventory discovery.
