IP ranges
You can specifically include or exclude IP addresses individually for
or as part of a range. IP
address range entries also affect
discovery. The IP ranges must include the addresses of the cluster
and its nodes. Enter one
or range per line. Use the following guidelines:
Range to enter
IP range
172.25.76.1-172.25.76.254
Your local subnet IP ranges from 1 to 254, the default Ping
inclusion ranges
172.25.76.114-172.25.76.114 or 172.25.76.114
A single system as a range in the Ping inclusion ranges or
Exclusion ranges
fields
172.25.76.38-172.25.76.48
A group of systems within a subnet in the Ping inclusion ranges
or Exclusion ranges fields
@DiscoveryTemplate_filename
Systems included in a discovery template file
$filename
Systems included in a hosts file
172.25.76.255:NOBROADCAST
No broadcast node in this subnet
172.25.76.0-172.25.76.255:255.255.255.0 or
172.25.76.114:255.255.255.0
Broadcast node determined by the subnet mask
Discovery assumes you do not want to ping the subnet network ID, typically the zero node, or the subnet
broadcast address, typically node 255, because these settings would unnecessarily take network resources.
If the system 255 is not a broadcast address on your network, you can indicate this in the Ping inclusion
ranges
section as shown in the table above or exclude the specific system in the Exclusion ranges section.
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses the subnet mask to determine the broadcast system. If you do
not specify a mask, HP SIM uses the default mask for the class of network. If your subnet mask is not the
default for the class, the broadcast system can be included, generating much more network traffic than
necessary.

Identification
follows automatic or manual
of a
and determines the following information
about the discovered system:
•
Management protocol the system uses (for example,
(DMI),
Web-Based Enterprise Management
(WBEM), HTTP,
(SSH), or WS-Management).
NOTE:
OpenWBEM is not supported.
NOTE:
By default, HP SIM supports WS-Management identification on the standard SSL port 443.
The addition of WS-Management support does not affect existing identification or discovery of Integrated
Lights Out (iLO)s using other protocols such as WBEM or SNMP. WSMAN:1.0 appears as a Management
Protocol along with all other supported management protocols on the system page System tab.
•
Type of system (for example, server, client, management processor, storage, switch, router, or cluster)
•
Product name of the system
