Configuring Managed Hosts

Complete this process for each unprotected host. When protected, all hosts on the Hosts page should have either a gold () or grey shield icon ().

Note: If your hosts have the same root password, you can configure multiple hosts at once. For more information, see Configuring Multiple Hosts.

1. Select Compliance > Hosts.

2. On the Hosts page, click on a blocked host name.

3. On the General tab, specify the root administrator credentials (User ID and Password) for the selected host.

4. Click the Advanced tab, review the settings, and, if needed, update the advanced CloudControl configuration settings for the selected host

5. Optional. Select the Published IP tab and select Global PIP or specify the Published IP address and Mask that clients will use to route management traffic to CloudControl.

6. Once you are finished editing the host configuration, click OK to save your changes.

You can sort the list by Hosts, Host Type, Patch Level, or Default Template. Click on the appropriate column headers to sort the contents.

Now that all hosts are protected, all future communication to them goes through CloudControl. You can login to your ESXi host (using its Published Hostname/IP address) from any client to confirm proper network connectivity.

Note: If you are still in Demo mode, you will need to use the Demo mode username (superadminuser) and password (Pa$$w0rd123!).
