Troubleshooting Mode

Troubleshooting Mode can be used to assist you in identifying and resolving host configuration

issues during discovery, as described in the following steps:

1.

If errors occur during discovery, an error message will display at the top of the screen below the

discovery step where the errors occurred. If you receive an error message, enable

Troubleshooting Mode by selecting the Enable Troubleshooting Mode check box located

near the top of the page for each discovery step.

2.

A red icon will display in the Problems column for each host for which a problem was

detected. Clicking this icon for a particular host will cause a list of troubleshooting tips to display

below the Enable Troubleshooting Mode check box. Use these tips to assist in the resolution

of configuration problems for that host.

3.

You can also enter Troubleshooting Mode by clicking the link located in the error message for

one of the discovery steps. For example, if you are on discovery step 3, you can click the

“Discovery->Setup in Troubleshooting mode” link located in the step 1 error message. Clicking

this link will bring you to the step 1 page with Troubleshooting Mode enabled.
