Explanation

How to Add an ESX Server Host to VMM To add ESX Server hosts 1. If you are managing your VMware environment in secure mode, retrieve the following security information from the host computers before you add the hosts: signed certificates that VMware created when ESX Server was installed on the hosts, retrieve the certificates from the host computers. This is not required if you are using a certificate from a trusted certification authority. For hosts that are running VMware ESX Server 3.5 or VMware ESX Server 3.0.2, also retrieve the SSH public key from the host computer. A public key is not required for hosts running ESX 2. In any view in the VMM Administrator Console, on the Actions pane, click Add hosts to open the Add Hosts Wizard. 3. On the Select Host Location page, click VMware ESX Server host, enter the credentials for an account with administrative privileges on the host, and then click Next. 4. On the Select Host Servers page, do the following: If the specified host is already being managed by VMM under a different VirtualCenter server, it will be moved from its current VirtualCenter server and added to the newly specified VirtualCenter A VMware ESX Server host can be added only to the VirtualCenter Server's root host group or one of its children. of the following: - If secure mode is not turned on, click Add Host. - If secure mode is turned on, and you did not retrieve the certificate and public key manually, click Retrieve to have VMM connect to the host computer and retrieve the certificate and, if required, the SSH public key. For ESX Server 3i, the certificate is imported, but not a public key. Visually verify the authenticity of the items. Then select the Accept both the certificate and public key for this host check box, or, for a host running ESX Server 3i, select the Accept the certificate check box. Then click Add Host.
