In the initial display window, select one of the following options to control the scope of the discovery:
•
Local Subnet Discovery—Searches for MSA devices in the subnet of the host on which the Tool
is running.
•
Range Based Discovery—Searches for MSA devices in a specified range of IP addresses.
When this option is selected, the page display changes to include fields in which to enter the
IP address range to search.
Discovering devices and viewing discovered information

While the search is in progress, discovered devices are displayed in the Discovered devices
navigation tree in real time. Depending on the size of the search parameters (entire host subnet
or range of IP addresses), the discovery may take several minutes to complete.

To view information about a discovered device, select the device in the Discovered devices
navigation tree. System information for the selected device is displayed in the right pane of

of available actions, such as Launch Storage Management Utility, Launch Telnet, or Launch
FTP, Start Log Collection and Stop Log Collection.
