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 from the HP SIM menu. If the System Automatic Discovery task is enabled, it runs immediately when the First Time Wizard is finished to initially populate the HP SIM database. You can create additional automatic discovery tasks by selecting OptionsDiscovery from the HP SIM menu and entering the details, and you can also run manual discovery to discover single systems.
To enable automatic system discovery from the First Time Wizard Discovery page:
To configure HP SIM to run discovery immediately after you finish the First Time Wizard, select Run discovery once after wizard finishes.
To configure the System Automatic Discovery task to run on a regular schedule, select Schedule and enter the periodic run interval and time of day to run the task.
In the Ping inclusion ranges, system (hosts) names, templates, and/or hosts files field, specify the IP addresses to include for pinging. If you want to use this task to discover SMI-S storage systems, include the IP address of each SMI CIMOM. You can also enter Simple or Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) host names. However, you cannot enter a range of host names. To use an existing hosts file, enter the hosts file name in the following format:
$HostsFileName
. 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 5.2 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.
