Discovery Settings Summary

You define a discovery by providing values for the following settings or
properties:

■

Enter a name and description.

■

Select one of two schedule options. One option is to run the discovery at
regular intervals and define the interval. The other option is to run the
discovery only on demand.

■

For an IP discovery, define one or more IP address ranges to be searched.

■

For each range to be searched, specify one or more community strings to be
used in the discovery process. A community string is necessary for SNMP
authentication.

■

For an IP discovery, you can define one or more IP address ranges to be
excluded from the discovery “search” process. Each excluded range should
fall within one of the ranges to be searched.

For complete instructions on performing discoveries, see the Storage
Management Appliance online help.
