Note The Discovery Configuration Setup editor enables you to configure the discovery for the following
Dell Active System Manager elements: servers, storage arrays, and switches (top of rack [TOR]).
Before you proceed, it is recommended to:
• Gather IP addresses and access credentials associated with the chassis or blade infrastructure
elements, storage arrays, and switches (TOR).
• Ensure that all elements have network connectivity, and that the associated element management
interfaces are accessible from the Active System Manager server.
The system domain is preconfigured with the Active System Manager. Based on your deployment, your
administrator may have configured multiple domains.
