How to add a esx host as a SDC to the system

Hi,guys,

     I just use:

[root@localhost ~]# scli --add_sdc --sdc_ip 10.204.28.170

Successfully approved sdc  Object ID a662013800000003 ip 10.204.28.170 guid N/A

and when I query all sdc:

[root@localhost ~]# scli --query_all_sdc

MDM restricted sdc mode: disabled

Query all SDC returned 4 SDC nodes.

SDC ID: a662013500000000 Name: N/A IP: 10.204.28.173 State: Connected GUID: 79544FA1-B7DD-4A1F-9DE5-B1F223C8C31C

SDC ID: a662013800000003 Name: N/A IP: 10.204.28.170 State: Disconnected GUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

    Write bandwidth:  0 IOPS 0 Bytes per-second

And how to change the state from Disconnected to Connected?

See UserGuide -> section: Modifying configuration parameters on ESX servers

Proper way to add SDC to your system is to install it with the proper MDM IPs he needs to communicate with.

The add SDC command is for a different usage altogether.

add_sdc command is meant for when the restricted mode is enabled and even after installing an SDC properly with the MDM IPs you still need to execute the add_sdc command in order for the MDM to allow mapping volumes to that SDC.

The reply you got from virby123 should also work, but again I recommend doing it right  and not as a workaround.
