Server-Initiated Discovery with OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 | 417
Executive summary
Traditionally, managing servers with OpenManage Enterprise requires the administrator to first configure
discovery jobs with IP ranges and credentials. With the introduction of factory random passwords that are
unique per device, this discovery configuration is an onerous task. With OpenManage Enterprise 3.4, servers
running iDRAC firmware version 4.00.00.00 can automatically initiate contact with the management console
and get discovered. This eliminates the need for manual discovery job configuration. Read on to see how
simple it is to enable this feature with OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 and iDRAC 4.00.00.00.
