You can manually add a compute node to a UCP system.
- Verify that the device user credentials are assigned administrator role: Administrator.
- Verify that the IPv4 or FQDN address of the BMC and ESXi belong to the same compute node.
- Verify that the compute node firmware is the supported version. See "Supported compute nodes" in the Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Software Installation Guide.
- For Hitachi HA800 G2/G3 series server models, verify that the IPMI/DCMI over LAN field under the Network section in Security - Access Settings is enabled. For additional information, see your server's user documentation.
