Expand
Discovery Setting to set the device naming used by the OpenManage enterprise to identify the discovered iDRACs and other devices using the

to use the DNS name.
Instrumentation (NetBIOS) to use the NetBIOS name.

Instrumentation(NetBios) option is selected in
General Device Naming, for chassis devices the
Chassis name is displayed as the device name entry on the All Devices page.
Server Device Naming applies to iDRACs only. Select from one of the following naming modes for the discovered iDRACs :
iDRAC Hostname to use the iDRAC hostname.
System Hostname to use the system hostname.
NOTE: The default naming preference for iDRAC devices is the
System Hostname .
NOTE: If any of the iDRACs do not have the iDRAC hostname or the System hostname to satisfy the setting, then the appliance identifies such iDRACs using their IP addresses.
