NOTE: After completing any of the following steps, click either Next to continue or click Finish to complete the

Discovery Range Conguration.

• In ICMP Conguration, to detect devices on the network, edit the ICMP parameters.

NOTE: The ICMP Conguration window is not displayed if Skip ICMP ping during discovery setting is selected

under Settings → Discovery Settings.

• In SNMP Conguration, to discover servers, provide the SNMP parameters. You can select SNMP V1/V2c or SNMP V3 for

discovery. Ensure that the SNMP community string specied in Get Community matches the SNMP community string of

the device or devices you want to discover using SNMP V1/V2c. For discovery and inventory of the devices using SNMP

V3, ensure the devices are congured with same username and password, authentication protocol, and encryption protocol

credentials, that is used when discovering the devices.

NOTE: If the user selects both SNMPv1/v2c and SNMPv3 options, then the discovery of devices using SNMPv3

takes higher priority than discovery of devices using SNMPv1/v2C. The Discovery Range Conguration Details

displays the discovery protocol selected for a particular discovery range.

NOTE: iDRAC supports only the default SNMP port 161. If the default SNMP port is changed, iDRAC may not

get discovered.

• In WMI Conguration, to authenticate and connect to remote devices, provide the WMI parameters. The format for

entering credentials for WMI must be domain\user name for domain-based networks or localhost\user name for non-

domain based networks.

• In Storage Conguration, to discover PowerVault modular disk array or EMC devices, edit parameters.

• In WS-Man Conguration, to enable discovery of PowerEdge VRTX, iDRAC 6, iDRAC 7, and ESXi installed servers, provide

WS-Man parameters.

• In SSH Conguration, to enable discovery of Linux-based servers, provide the SSH parameters.

• In IPMI Conguration, to enable server discovery, provide the IPMI parameters. IPMI is typically used to discover BMC or

iDRACs on servers. You can include the optional KG key when discovering RAC devices.

• In Discovery Range Action, choose to discover, inventory, or perform both tasks. The default option is to perform both

discovery and inventory.

• Select Perform only discovery or Perform both discovery and inventory to run the task immediately.

• To schedule the task to run at a later time, select Do not perform discovery or inventory, and follow the instructions in

Scheduling Discovery and Scheduling Inventory.
