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 by selecting to have it run immediately when First Time Wizard finishes, or by selecting Options->Discovery from the HP SIM menu. You can create multiple automatic discovery tasks from the Discovery page.

  1. Select Run discovery once after wizard finishes to have the System Automatic Discovery task run immediately after First Time Wizard finishes.

  2. To schedule the task to run at a specific time, select Schedule.

  3. To configure the System Automatic Discovery task to run on a regular schedule, enter how often the task should run. The default frequency is once per day. If you clear the Automatically execute discovery every option, the task is disabled after it is created.

  4. In the Ping inclusion ranges, system (hosts) names, templates, and/or hosts files field, specify the IP addresses. 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 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 .

    Alternatively, you can create a separate discovery task for your SMI CIMOMs. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.

  5. To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click Next, or to return to the previous step, click Previous.
