All steps are optional.
To configure general settings for automatic discovery:
1.
Select Options
→Discovery. The Discovery page appears with the Automatic tab selected.
2.
In the For all automatic discoveries section, select Configure general settings. The General
Settings
section appears.
3.
Select from the following options:
•
Automatically discover a system when an event is received from it
. This option enables
systems to be discovered when a trap or some other supported event is received by HP Systems
Insight Manager (HP SIM). It uses the discovery filters and IP address exclusion ranges for additional
filtering of these events.
•
Automatically discover a server blade when its Integrated Lights Out management
processor is identified
. This option adds servers that were indirectly discovered through its
management processor. These servers are discovered when its iLO is discovered, they are listed
with a Disabled state on the system table view page, and the only information displayed is the
system serial number and the association to iLO and the enclosure. If the iLO is in a c-Class
enclosure, then the Discover systems in an enclosure when Onboard Administrator is
discovered
option should also be enabled.
•
Select Discover systems in an enclosure when Onboard Administrator is discovered. This
option adds systems known by the Onboard Administrator even if they are not in the configured
Discovery range.
•
Select Automatically discover HPVM guest(s) when the host is identified. This option adds
all HP Integrity Virtual Machine (HPVM) guest systems to the HP SIM database when the HPVM
host system is discovered and identified.
4.
(Optional) In the Ping exclusion ranges, templates and/or hosts files field, specify the IP addresses,
templates, or Hosts files containing IP addresses to exclude from the automatic discovery process. This
field applies to both range pinging and event-based automatic discovery. See
for more
information.
Important: When discovering clusters, the ping inclusion range must include the IP addresses of the
cluster and the cluster members.
5.
(Optional) Select Enable discovery filters. See
for more information.
6.
In the Discover the following system types: section, select the type of systems to be discovered. See
for more detailed information on each of the system types listed.
Important: When discovering clusters, you must include the server system type, so that the cluster members
are not filtered out.
Note: This option is available only when you select Enable discovery filters.
7.
In the Limit discovery to systems that meet the following criteria section, select from the following:
•
Any system that matches the above filter
•
All manageable systems (WBEM, SNMP, DMI, WMI, or HTTP support)
•
Manageable systems with HP agents only
Note: This option is available only when you select Enable discovery filters.

error message appears:
You must make at least one system type selection when enabling filters.
The Discovery page General Settings section is not protected from multiple users accessing the page at
the same time. The last user to save the settings has his or her settings take affect. If discovery is in progress
and the settings are applied by a different user or the same user, any remaining systems to be processed
have the settings applied.
