HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses automatic discovery to find and identify systems on the network. The System Automatic Discovery task is the default discovery task and is disabled by default. You can enable and configure the System Automatic Discovery task in the First Time Wizard, or by selecting Options->Discovery.

If the System Automatic Discovery task is enabled, it will run immediately at the conclusion of this wizard to initially populate the HP SIM database.

You can create additional automatic discovery tasks by selecting Options->Discovery and entering the details, and you can run manual discovery to discover single systems.

  1. To enable the System Automatic Discovery task, select the Automatically execute discovery every checkbox. If you do not enable the System Automatic Discovery task at this time, discovery will not take place until you select Options->Discovery, and enable a discovery task or select a task and click Run Now.

  2. If you want System Automatic Discovery to run on a regular schedule, enter the periodic run interval and time of day to run the task.

  3. In the Ping inclusion ranges, templates and/or hosts files field, enter the IP addresses to include for pinging. For example, if your local subnet IP ranges from 1 to 254, the default Ping inclusion ranges, enter 172.25.76.1-172.25.76.254.

    To discover SMI-S storage systems, you must add the IP address of each SMI CIMOM to the System Automatic Discovery task.

    Alternatively, you can create a separate discovery task for your SMI CIMOMs. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.1 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.

  4. Click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step.
