If you started a CIM Extension on a Sun Solaris host with the ./start -users command, the user

name provided in the command must be used to discover the host. For example, if you use

./start -users myname:yourname (where myname and yourname are valid UNIX accounts) to

start the CIM Extension, myname or yourname and its password must be used to discover the

Making the Management Server Aware of Hosts (SE Discovery Only)

Step

Description

1

If several of the elements in the same domain use the same name and password,

click the Set Default User name and Password link and provide up to three user

names and passwords.

To enter an IP address range, click the IP Ranges tab and then the Add Range

button.
If necessary, enter a user name and password for the devices in the range.
During a scan of an IP range, the software uses ping; however, ping is not

able to detect the device during a scan of the IP range, discover the device directly

as described in Step 4.

Click the Start Scanning button. The management server detects targets it can

ping and adds them to the IP Address tab automatically. Ping does not guarantee a

response. When you start the discovery process, these addresses are included.

If a device was not found during an IP scan, enter an IP address by clicking the IP
Addresses

tab and then the Add Address button.

If necessary, enter a user name and password for the device.

Click the Start Discovery button.

process when the network and the managed elements are not busy. Click Tools >
