How to determine the vCenter that a device was auto provisioned from

QUESTION:

I have devices which say that they are auto provisioned from vCenter configuration. How can I find out from which vCenter were they auto provisioned?

RESOLUTION:

There are three possible ways:

1. from the GUI:

* represent into the department
* navigate top Administration --> Devices
* click on the 'Device Dependency' link at the top left
* Find the discovered device in the 'All Devices List' and select it
* the lower right panel will display the vCenter
* Hit Cancel

2. from the Traverse CLI tool:

This example is on a Windows BVE server; please fill iln the username and password as appropriate
