You are configuring your Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2
environment. A VMware ESX 3.5 host server named Host1 is added to the existing VMware
Infrastructure 3 (VI3) environment that you manage by using VMM. You need to add Host1
to your VMM environment. What should you do?
A.
In the Computer name field of the Add VMware VirtualCenter server dialog box, type the
fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of Host1.
B.
In the Computer name field of the Add VMware VirtualCenter server dialog box, type the
fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the VMware VirtualCenter server that manages
Host1.
C.
In the Add Hostswizard, select the VMware ESX Server host (any location) option. In the
Computer name field, type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of Host1.
D.
In the Add Hosts wizard, select the VMware ESX Server host (any location) option. In the
Computer name field, type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the VMware
VirtualCenter server that manages Host1.
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:
a. For all versions of ESX Server, secure mode requires a certificate. If you plan to use the
selfsigned 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 Server 3i.
b. For instructions for automating the preceding tasks, see Configuring Security for a
Managed VMware Environment in VMM (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=145051).
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:
a. In the Computer name or IP address box, type the computer name or IP address of an
ESX Server host.
b. In the Virtualization VirtualCenter list, select the VMware VirtualCenter Server you want to
add the host to.
Important
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 Server.
c. In the Host group list, select a host group for the host you want to add.
Note
A VMware ESX Server host can be added only to the VirtualCenter
Server’s root host group or one of its children.
d. Depending on whether you are managing your VMware environment in secure mode, do
one 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.
