Host discovery
The Management application enables you to discover individual hosts, import a group of hosts from
a comma-separated values (CSV) file, or import all hosts from discovered fabrics or VM Managers.
NOTE
Host discovery requires HCM Agent 2.0 or later.
CIM and WMI host discovery requirements
ESXi host adapter discovery requires a vendor-specific HBA CIM provider to be installed on the ESXi
host. The Management application supports CIMOM-based discovery for Emulex adapters
irrespective of the operating system and firmware version. Perform the following steps to configure
HTTPS certificate validation for ESXi host discovery.
1. Download the host certificate to the BNA trust store from the following path.
/etc/vmware/ssl
2. Refer to “Configuring SSL certificates preferences” on page 171 to import the host certificate
to the BNA server from the Management application. If the certificate is not imported properly,
an error message displays.
3. Restart the BNA server after importing the certification properly. The BNA server must be
restarted each time a host certificate is configured.
4. Refer to “Discovering Hosts by network address or host name” on page 98 to configure
discovery authentication in the Add Host Adapters dialog box.
NOTE
CIM HTTPS Certificate validation occurs whether the Enable Certificate Validation check box is
selected or not in the Server dialog box.
For Windows, the Emulex adapter discovery is based on Windows Management Instrumentation
(WMI). Perform the following steps to configure HTTPS certificate validation.
