IP Address–Enables you to search a range of IP addresses in IPv4 or IPv6 format. Enter
the required address range information, click Search, select the target, and then click
Add to List.
NOTE:
HP SUM searches only c-class blocks of IP addresses, and a maximum of 255
targets. For example, you can search for IP address 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255,
but HP SUM does not support searching IP addresses 192.168.1.1 through
192.168.3.255.
•
Port Address–Enables you to search in a range of IP addresses and specific port address.
•
LDAP Scan for Remote Targets–Enables you to search for targets using an LDAP query.
NOTE:
HP SUM will prompt whether or not to continue at the end of the discovery process if a
Linux server belongs to a Serviceguard cluster and the target is active. Click Yes or No. If you
continue and perform the update, you must reboot the target to activate the update.
