What box has what virtual server on it?

We have 6 boxes/machines with virtual servers on them.
How can I find out what box has what virtual server on it? And what are the names of the boxes?

Do you have a vCenter server? It should be able to tell you, if the VMs are all registered with it.

I'm not sure. I'm not the IT outsourced support staff. I'm the owner of the company but can't seem to get a simple question answered.

Well, I'm paying for the new boxes and just wanted to know which boxes they are using as I don't want them to use one of the old boxes.

Oh, so this is starting to look like a principal-agent problem. That's a hard one and if you are sufficiently doubtful about your IT staff the only solution may be to hire a third party expert to verify that what's being done is what you wanted.

Let's hope it's not that bad. You might be able to let a person at a supervisor level know about your concerns and get some reassurance. The IT workers may be earnestly interpreting their instructions and applying their knowledge to do what they think is best for you, but their views may not entirely align with yours.
