Troubleshooting VM manager discovery

set up correctly.
Verify IP connectivity by issuing a ping command to the switch.
1. Open the command prompt.
2. From the Server, type
ping
Device_IP_Address
.
IP Rediscovery
When you change device configuration using the CLI or Web Management Interface, the updated
configuration information does not automatically update in the Management application. You must
rediscover devices to update configuration information.
For VCS devices, if you do not have the All IP Products AOR (area of responsibility) in your user
account, you can not rediscover missing fabric members.
When you rediscover an IP device, the Management application captures and stores all changes to
its configuration since the last Discovery or Rediscovery cycle. Once Rediscovery completes,
configuration updates display in Network Object view.
Rediscovering IP devices
To rediscover one or more IP devices, complete the following steps.
1. Select Discover > IP Products.
The Discover Setup - IP dialog box displays.
2. Select the IP devices you want to rediscover in the Discovered Products table.
For VCS devices, if you do not have the All IP Products AOR (area of responsibility) in your user
account, you can not rediscover missing fabric members.
Select multiple devices by holding down the CTRL key and clicking more than one device. You
can select up to 32 devices for rediscovery.
If you select to rediscover multiple devices, you should configure a discovery profile to run in
the background. For step-by-step instructions, refer to
