2. Enter the complete start and end address range (IPv4 only) and click Add. The
added address range appears in the dialog box. Add any additional ranges you
want to search.
3. Click Start Discovery. If an address is remotely manageable, it is added to the list of
addresses that the discovery server attempts to discover. The utility creates a host
file if necessary, and checks each address in the range to determine if the host is
available and remotely manageable. The number of addresses (of manageable
hosts) discovered is periodically updated on the dialog box.
Note: The number of hosts found does not correspond directly to the number of
hosts added to the discovery-tree. A host can have more than one IP address
assigned to it. If multiple IP addresses for a host are discovered during the
search, the host is added to the discovery-tree only once.
4. You can save the IP address ranges. Click Save Ranges to File to save the specified
ranges to a file so that these address ranges appear the next time you use the Add
Range of TCP/IP Hosts dialog box.
Removing Hosts
Removing hosts that are no longer discovered improves the operation of the discovery
server. For example, you may want to remove a host when it is removed from the
network. (Not available in read-only mode.)
To remove hosts:
1. From the Discovery menu, select TCP/IP>Remove Host(s). The Remove Hosts
dialog box shows a list of discovered hosts. Any host that is not currently
discovered appears in red. Click Show Undiscovered Hosts Only to display only
currently undiscovered hosts.
2. From the Remove Hosts dialog box, select the hosts you want to remove. You can
select all the displayed hosts by clicking Select All.
3. Click Remove to remove the selected hosts.
Configuring Discovery and CIM Credentials
Use the OneCommand Manager application Discovery Settings dialog box to configure
several discovery server parameters. You can define when to start the discovery server,
when to refresh FC and TCP/IP accessed discoveries and when to remove previously
discovered adapters that are no longer being discovered. You can also define default
CIM credentials such as the protocol, user name, port number, password and name
space.
Note: Management of CIM hosts is only supported on Windows systems.
For example, some of the addresses discovered may be for hosts that have already been
discovered over FC. However, new adapters can be discovered on those hosts that were
not discovered over FC. Also, a host can have more than one IP address assigned to it.
If multiple IP addresses for a host are discovered during the search, the host is added to
the discovery-tree only once. If the same host name appears for more than one host, the
