By default, the certificate status of the host or vCenter that is migrated from earlier release is invalid. To perform any operation on the host from Solution Deployment Manager, you require a valid certificate. Therefore, you must get the valid certificate and accept the certificate.
Depending on the host type and the validity of the certificate, use appropriate steps to generate the certificate, and then accept the certificate.
Require permissions to add a host to generate certificates.
If the certificate is valid, click Accept Certificate.
If the certificate is invalid, click Generate Certificate, and then click Accept Certificate.
If the certificate is valid, on the Certificate dialog box, click , and click Accept Certificate.
If the certificate is invalid, log in to the ESXi host, validate the certificate, and then from Solution Deployment Manager, accept the certificate.
For more information, see "Generating new self-signed certificates for the ESXi host".
