enumerateSoftwareIdentityForHostCmd= new EnumerateSoftwareIdentityForHostCmd(serverAddress, userName, password);

Map<String, String> resultMap = enumerateSoftwareIdentityForHostCmd.execute();

 if (resultMap != null) {
 
           hypervisorInformation = new HypervisorInformation();
           
           hypervisorInformation.setName(resultMap.get("Name"));
           
           hypervisorInformation.setVersionName(resultMap.get("VersionString"));
        
        }
    
    } catch (Exception e) {
    
         logger.info("Unable to collect hypervisor information for the server IP {} ", wsmanCredentials.getAddress());
         
         return hypervisorInformation;
    }
