Figure 5-5 Discovery Settings Dialog Box
To configure discovery settings:
1. From the Discovery menu, select Modify Settings. The Discovery Settings dialog
box appears.
2. Define the discovery properties you want.
3. The CIM credentials area can be used to set the default CIM credentials which are
used to connect to all the ESXi hosts that are managed through the CIM interface.

Protocol: The HTTP or HTTPS protocol can be used to connect to the ESXi hosts.
The default port numbers used for http and https are 5988 and 5989
respectively. The port number changes automatically according to the protocol
selected. You can also manually change the port number. Since, by default, the
HTTP is disabled on sfcb in ESXi host, you should use HTTPS to communicate
to the ESXi host.

User name: The user name field contains the username with which to connect to
the ESXi hosts. By default this is ‘root’

Password: This password field contains the password of the user name which is
used to connect to the ESXi host.

Namespace: Namespace is the namespace of the emulex provider.
The default namespace is ‘root/emulex’.
Note: If the Emulex CIM Provider present in ESXi is an inbox provider, then
the namespace should be “elxhbacmpi/cimv2”. If the out-of-box CIM
Provider is installed, then the namespace should be “root/emulex”.
To check whether the CIM Provider is inbox or out-of-box, enter the following
command on the ESXi host.
~ # esxcli software vib list | grep cim
