Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.1 User's Guide

Discovering devices for monitoring or management

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.

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: MX7000 chassis is not discovered when you try to discover by using the OpenManage Enterprise—TechRelease version. After you upgrade to OpenManage Enterprise version 3.1, the same MX7000 chassis is discovered. However, the features available are limited. It is recommended to create a discovery task for MX7000 chassis in OpenManage Enterprise version 3.1 after the upgrade is complete.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: 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.
