Request: Pull all IP addresses in use in a cluster for VM's that are powered on AND off.
Purpose: Being able to pull IP address usage from VMware and Hyper-V will give IPAM the ability to report on virtually assigned IP's, even if the VM is powered off.
If a VM is powered off then its IP address will show as available in Orion IPAM. This is bad as someone could pick this IP up and assign it to another VM or machine on the network.
The issue arises when that VM gets powered on again, it will no longer be able to use the IP address it is configured to use.
Added value: Avoid misuse of IP addresses when they are currently assigned to a node. If you can get guest details as well, you would be able to confirm whether the guest has several IP addresses assigned and also, tell whether there is a naming mismatch with DNS.
This should be fairly simple to achieve. By using the VMware API, do a vm-get guest.IPAddress along with some guest details to fill out info columns in Orion IPAM. Don't know whether this is doable with Hyper-V, though.
