Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.2.1 User's Guide

Create customized device discovery job protocol for Chassis – Additional settings for discovery protocols

1. Select the Discover using WS-Man/Redfish (iDRAC, Server, and/or Chassis) .
   NOTE: For chassis, the Discover using WS-Man/Redfish check box is selected by default. Implies that the chassis can be discovered by using either of these two protocols. The M1000e, CMC VRTX, and FX2 chassis support the WS-Man commands. The MX7000 chassis supports Redfish protocol.
2. Enter username and password of the chassis to be detected.
3. In the Connection Settings section:
   1. In the Retries box, enter the number of repeated attempts that must be made to discover a server.
   2. In the Timeout box, enter the time after which a job must stop running.
   3. Enter in the Port box to edit the port number. By default, 443 is used to connect to the device. For supported port numbers, see Supported protocols and ports in OpenManage Enterprise.
      • Generate Trusted key: Disabled by default. Select to generate a trusted device key for communicating with devices.
        NOTE: First time, a user must generate the trust key by using the REST API, only after which this option can be used. This key is generated per device and enables a trust relationship with the managed device.
   4. Select the Enable Common Name (CN) check check box if the common name of device is same as the host name used to access the OpenManage Enterprise.
   5. Select the Enable Certificate Authority (CA) check check box.
4. To discover IO modules, select the Discover IO Modules with chassis check box.
   NOTE: Applicable only for the CMC VRTX, M1000e, and FX2 chassis (models FN2210S, FN410T and FN410S). For the MX7000 chassis, the IO modules are automatically detected.

   NOTE: Only the IO Modules with Standalone, PMUX (Programmable MUX), VLT (Virtual Link Trunking) Modes are discoverable. Full switch and Stacked Modes will not be discovered.
   1. Select Use chassis credentials if the M I/O Aggregator user credentials are the same as that of the chassis.
   2. Select Use different credentials if the M I/O Aggregator user credentials are different from the chassis credentials and do the following:
      • Enter the User Name and Password.
      • Change the default values for Retries, Timeout, and Port if required.
      • Select Verify known Host key, to verify the remote host identity.
      • Select Use SUDO Option if needed.
5. Click Finish.
6. Complete the tasks in Create a device discovery job.
