A discovery job is created and run. The status is displayed on the Job Details page.
During device discovery, the user account specified for the discovery range is verified against all available privileges enabled on a remote
device. If the user authentication passes, the device is automatically onboarded or the device can be onboarded later with different user
credentials. See Onboarding devices.
NOTE:
During CMC discovery, the servers, and IOM and storage modules (configured with IP and SNMP set to "public"
as community string), residing on CMC are also discovered and are onboarded. If you enable trap reception during CMC
discovery, the OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release is set as the trap destination on all the servers and not on the
chassis.
