For some types of virtual machines and public clouds, additional setup is required to collect their capacity data.

Table 1. Method of collecting capacity data from VMs and public clouds
Technology	Method of collecting capacity data
Hyper-V	Connection to VM manager
KVM managed by RHV-M or Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager	Connection to VM manager
KVM not managed by RHV-M nor Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager	Scan of the virtualization host
Linux on z Systems	Creating capacity configuration for Linux on z Systems
Nutanix	Connection to VM manager
Oracle Solaris	Always required: Installation of the BigFix® client Required when the computer is in the DSD domain: Setting DSD mode
PowerKVM	Scan of the virtualization host
Public clouds For the list of supported public clouds, see: Licensing on public clouds.	Identifying computer as running on a public cloud
VMware	Connection to VM manager
Xen Hypervisor	Scan of the virtualization host
