15 Host adapter discovery

Host adapter discovery

The Management application enables you to discover individual hosts, import a group of hosts from a CSV file, or import host names from discovered fabrics. The maximum number of host discovery requests that can be accepted is 1000. Host discovery requires HCM Agent 2.0 or later.

ESXi host adapter discovery requires the Brocade HBA CIM provider to be installed on the ESXi host.

NOTE

Pure Fabric discovery alone shows adapters behind Access Gateway and all adapter ports as virtual. When you discover an adapter and ports using host discovery, the adapter and all its ports are shown as physical.

Instructions for discovering hosts are detailed in Chapter 3, “Discovery”.

VM Manager

A vCenter server can be discovered by adding a VM Manager to the Management application. Refer to Chapter 3, “Discovery” for information about discovering VM Managers.
