Use the procedure to add an Appliance Virtualization Platform or ESXi host. You can associate an ESXi host with an existing location.
If you are adding an standalone ESXi host to System Manager Solution Deployment Manager or to the Solution Deployment Manager client, add the standalone ESXi host using its FQDN only.
Solution Deployment Manager only supports the Avaya Aura® Appliance Virtualization Platform and VMware ESXi hosts. If you try to add a host other than the Appliance Virtualization Platform and VMware ESXi hosts, the system displays the following error message:
Retrieving host certificate info is failed: Unable to communicate with host. Connection timed out: connect. Solution Deployment Manager only supports host management of VMware-based hosts and Avaya Appliance Virtualization Platform (AVP).
A location must be available.
Under VM Management Tree, establish trust for all the virtual machines that are deployed on the host.
Ensure that the system populates the Application Name and Application Version for each virtual machine.
Once you have performed a trust establishment and refresh host operation on all virtual machines, you can perform refresh operation on the host.
