Adding a Single Host
The OneCommand Manager application enables you to specify a single TCP/IP host to manage. You
can add a Resource Management Application Programming Interface (RMAPI) host or CIM host using
the host name or IP address. If the host is successfully discovered it is added to the hosts file. If it has
not been discovered over FC already, the host and its adapter ports are added to the discovery-tree.
(Not available in read-only mode.)
Prerequisites
•
The OneCommand Manager application must be installed on the remote host.
Procedure
To add a single host:
1.
From the Discovery menu, select TCP/IP>Add Host. The Add Remote TCP/IP Host dialog box
appears.
Figure 7: Add Remote TCP/IP Host dialog box
2.
Enter the name or the IP address of the host to be added.
3.
Configure the discovery method:
•
If you want to add the host using default discovery methods, check Add using default
credentials and click Add Host. You will receive a message indicating whether the new
host was successfully added.
•
If you want to add the new host using specific CIM credentials, check Add using spe-
cific CIM credentials and click Add Host. The Add Remote TCP/IP Host dialog box
appears with default CIM settings. CIM credentials are most often used when managing
VMware ESX 3i or VMware ESX 4i servers.
Note: Entering the IP address to identify the host avoids possible name resolution issues.
