3. Click Seed Switch.
If the fabric contains other switches that are running the latest version and are also
HTTP-reachable from the Management application, the Seed Switch dialog box appears.
Otherwise, a message displays that you cannot change the seed switch.
4. Select a switch to be the new seed switch from the Seed Switch dialog box.
You can select only one switch. Only switches that are running the latest Fabric OS version in
the fabric are displayed. The current seed switch is not displayed in this list.
5. Click OK on the Seed Switch dialog box.
If you are not already logged in to the seed switch, the Fabric Login dialog box displays.
If you are successfully authenticated, the fabric is deleted from the Management application
without purging historical data, and the same fabric is rediscovered with the new seed switch.
6. Click Close on the Discover Fabrics dialog box.
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
“Certificates”
on page 109 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 56 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.
