What is the discovery flow in ESM and how is it related to IP
1) IP discovers that a host is an ESX server via the sysObjID. (Via SNMP).
2) ESM gets the host and queries it for the Vmware SNMP MIB for VMName and state information. (Via SNMP)
3) ESM will query the ESX if it has creadentials to get the IP addresses for VM's on the ESX. (Java Adapter via the VMWare web service SDK).
