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 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. For Windows, the Emulex adapter discovery is based
on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
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
