Dell EMC PowerFlex Rack Using PowerFlex Manager

Discover and configure a PowerFlex node for alerting

After the physical PowerFlex node is cabled and connected, PowerFlex Manager discovers and configures the PowerFlex node for alerting.

1. On the menu bar, click Resources.
2. On the Resources page, click Discover on the All Resources tab.
3. On the Welcome page of the Discovery wizard, read the instructions and click Next.
4. On the Identify Resources page, click Add Resource Type. From the Resource Type list, select Node.
5. Enter the management IP address of the node in the IP Address Range field.
6. In the Resource State list, select Managed. The resource state must be managed for PowerFlex Manager to send alerts to Secure Remote Services.
7. If expanding into a node pool, select the node pool from the Discover into Node Pool list.
8. Select the appropriate iDRAC credential from the Credentials list.
9. If you want PowerFlex Manager to automatically reconfigure the iDRAC nodes it finds, select the Reconfigure discovered nodes with new management IP and credentials check box. This option is not selected by default, because it is faster to discover the nodes if you bypass the reconfiguration.
   NOTE:If you select this option, the iDRAC IP address and or password is changed.
10. Select the Auto configure nodes to send alerts to PowerFlex Manager check box to have PowerFlex Manager automatically configure iDRAC nodes to send alerts to PowerFlex Manager.
11. Click Next to start discovery. On the Discovered Resources page, select the resources from which you want to collect inventory data and click Finish.
