installing PCNS 4.2 on 2 or more ESX host

[BillP]

previously we installed PCNS 3.1 within vMA to manage our ESXi hosts.

i am in the process of upgrading to PCNS 4.2 in my newer hosts.

how do i use a single PCNS to manage 2 different ESX hosts, cannot find any where in the GUI that i can add additional hosts

or i need to install 2 PCNS on the 2 hosts?

there is no vcenter to manage these 2 hosts

Hi,

You need to install PCNS on each host. Your option are to install VMware vMA on each host and PCNS onto the vMA. The other option is to install PCNS Appliance. The appliance is PCNS bundle with CentOS 7.
