Hello,
Unfortunately no roadmap available yet,
I strongly suggest to open an Idea (former RFE) to get such functionality covered in the feature:

Thank you for your response. That is very helpful. So it should already be working at this point, even when vCenter version 9 is not officially supported yet.
Is it possible to indicate which future ILMT release will officially support vCenter version 9? Is there a rough roadmap available?

Hello,
BigFix version is out of concern.
What matters is the version of VM Manager Tool (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool/9.2.0?topic=managers-vm-manager-tool).
Anyhow,
vCenter 9 is not yet officially supported by the latest ILMT release (9.2.42).
The latest supported version is VMware 8.
However, accordingly to the latest VMware vSphere/vCenter Management SDK for version 9 it looks like the backward compatibility still holds.
Thus, the existing VM manager connections should still be working after switching to version 9.

Specifically, we have an existing ILMT installation on a Windows server currently connected to vCenter 8 for collecting virtual machine hardware data (CPU cores, memory, etc.). We need to know if this connection will work with vCenter 9 once we upgrade our infrastructure.
If vCenter 9 is supported, please provide the minimum required ILMT/BigFix version.
Thanks upfront.
