Addition of cluster information in inventory views and VM counts in Report Builder

Previously, inventory views within IT Asset Management displayed host names but did not include cluster names. However, given how dynamic virtual environments are, VMs are frequently moving between hosts within a given cluster. For this reason, many software licensing rules in virtual environments are actually set at the cluster level, not the host level.

In this release, the inventory views and Report Builder have been enhanced to include cluster information and VM counts:

• A new Cluster Name has been added to all the inventory views (such as Active Inventory, Ignored Inventory, Cloud Service Provider Inventory, and more) where the host name information is available. This column allows users to easily identify the cluster to which each host and VM belongs.
• The Report Builder now displays the number of VMs per host and per cluster. These fields help users to automate and improve the process of license allocation based on VM density.
