Discovering devices for monitoring or management

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Discovery, you can discover devices in your data center environment to manage them, improve their usability, and improve resource availability for your business-critical operations. The Discovery page displays the number of devices discovered in task and information about the status of discovery job for that device. The job statuses are Queued, Completed, and Stopped. The right pane displays information about the task such as the total possible devices, device discovered with Device Types and their respective count, next run time if scheduled, and last discovered time. View Details in the right pane displays individual discovery job details.

NOTE
  • To perform any taskson OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
  • In order to support discovery with domain credentials, OpenManage Enterprise (version 3.2 and later) uses the OpenSSH protocol instead of the WSMAN protocol used in the previous versions. Hence, all the Windows and Hyper-V devices discovered prior to updating the appliance have to be deleted and re-discovered using their OpenSSH credentials. Refer the Microsoft documentation to enable OpenSSH on Windows and Hyper-V.
  • On the Discovery and Inventory Schedules pages, the status of a scheduled job is indicated as Queued in the STATUS column. However, the same status is indicated as Scheduled on the Jobs page.
  • By default, the last discovered IP of a device is used by OpenManage Enterprise for performing all operations. To make any IP change effective, you must rediscover the device.
  • For third party devices, you might see duplicate entries if they are discovered using multiple protocols. This duplication can be corrected by deleting the entries and rediscovering the device(s) using only the IPMI protocol.
By using the Discovery feature, you can:
  • View, add, and remove devices from the global exclusion list. See Globally excluding devices.
  • Create, run, edit, delete, and stop the device discovery jobs.
