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. SMI and
WMI discovery are not supported.
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
about the following:
