The Discovery Wizard Conguration window enables you to congure the type of wizard you want to use for discovering devices.

The options displayed in the Discovery Wizard Conguration window are described in the following table.

Table 4. Discovery Wizard Conguration

Option Description

Standard Wizard If selected, the Discover Devices wizard displays a list of

protocols for discovering devices.

Guided Wizard (default) If selected, the Discover Devices wizard displays a list of device

types and the required protocols for discovering and managing

the selected devices. After the required protocol congurations

are completed, by default, this wizard runs both discovery and

inventory.

NOTE: Discovery of storage arrays is not supported by

the Guided Wizard.

Skip ICMP ping during discovery If selected, the ICMP Conguration settings will be disabled

from the Discover Devices wizard. By selecting this option,

ICMP ping is skipped during discovery and inventory of the

devices, system updates, conguration and deployment tasks.

Discover the selected Device Types only

In OpenManage Essentials 2.3, this option is enabled by default.

If selected, this option allows device-type discovery in the

guided wizard.

NOTE: The device range that was discovered in the

earlier version of OME may have discovered both

chassis and iDRAC using WS-MAN protocol. In

OpenManage Essentials 2.3, if Discover the selected

Device Types only option is enabled in Discovery

settings, then only the specic device selected in the

guided wizard will be discovered and other devices are

classied as unknown devices. For example: Selecting

iDRAC device type with WS-MAN protocol will discover

only iDRAC devices using WS-MAN protocol.

After you select the type of wizard and click Finish, the setting is saved in Settings → Discovery Settings.

By default, the Discovery Wizard Conguration window is displayed when you:

• Launch OpenManage Essentials for the rst time.

• Click Add Discovery Range in the Discovery and Inventory portal for the rst time.

If you want to congure the type of wizard you want to use for discovering devices at a later time, you can do so through the

Discovery Settings page. For more information, see Conguring Discovery Settings.
