Issue:
We are attempting to configure Ops Center Probe to communicate with the VSP F5200 using the Command Device (in-band communication). The configuration/discovery is failing.

Questions:

  1. Is it supported to present a Command Device from meta_resource to a host group that belongs to a Virtual Storage resource group?
  2. Does the Command Device need to reside in the same resource group as the ESXi host group and Probe server?
  3. Are there any specific Host Mode Options (for example HMO 76) required for Command Device access by Ops Center Probe?
  4. Has anyone successfully configured Ops Center Probe in a similar environment where the Probe server is a VM and the Command Device resides in meta_resource?

Any guidance, best practices, or documentation references would be appreciated.
