If a new host has been added to a vSphere cluster and it will be added to the pre-existing cluster, re-run the Add/Update Host Group wizard. This will scan the existing environment, figure out which, if any, hosts need to be configured. Take the following situation:

A fourth host has been added to a cluster, in this case, esxi-04.

The host has not yet been configured on the FlashArray and the corresponding host group only has host esxi-01, esxi-02, esxi-03.

  1. Right-click on the ESXi cluster you wish to create a host object for.
  2. Navigate to Everpure > Add/Update Host Group .

    The new host will be shown as Will be created, indicating that it was not found on the FlashArray and the plugin will proceed with configuring it and adding it to the existing host group.

    Clicking Create will initiate the process.
