HCM and Management application support on ESXi systems
15
ESXi CIM listener ports
The Management application server uses two CIM indication listener ports to listen for CIM
indications.
• HCM Proxy Service CIM Indication Listener Port—This port is used to listen for CIM indications
from ESXi hosts managed through HCM instances launched by the Management application.
You can learn the value of these ports through the Port Status dialog box.
• Fault Management CIM Indication Listener Port—This port is used to listen for CIM indications
from ESXi hosts managed through the Management application’s host adapter discovery.
The two ports described above are part of the range of ports reserved for use by the Management
application server, configurable during installation from the Server Configuration wizard. Refer to
the Brocade Network Advisor Installation Guide or Brocade Network Advisor Migration Guide for
server configuration instructions.
Adding host adapter credentials for ESXi
CIM-based discovery is available for ESXi versions 4.1 and later. The CIM server transport does not
support operating systems other than ESXi.
NOTE
CIM server credentials are optional. If you do not provide credentials, basic authentication on the
CIM server is disabled and the Management application attempts discovery without authentication.
The Protocol, Port, User ID, and Password fields on the Add Host Adapters dialog box are persisted
when changing from HCM agent to CIM Server (ESXi only).
1. Select Discover > Host Adapters.
