Executive summary
14 Simplified discovery of Dell EMC PowerEdge modular infrastructure (MX7000) in Dell EMC OpenManage
Essentials
from the MX chassis by using the Discovery and Inventory Now or Refresh Inventory option as described in
the Discovery, inventory, and status operations section. In addition to this, the removed blade server will be
de-associated from the MX chassis group and associated to All Ranges in the Discovery Ranges section of
the Discovery and Inventory page.
2.5 Associate blades to a MX chassis that is discovered before using
the complete chassis discovery feature
It is recommended that you either use only the MX Chassis Discovery - All Components filter to discover the
chassis and its associated components or you discover the MX chassis and its associated components
individually. However, if the blade servers of MX chassis are already discovered in OpenManage Essentials
(while the MX chassis is not discovered and you use the MX Chassis Discovery - All Components filter to
discover the MX chassis and its associated components (blade servers)), all the previously discovered blade
server ranges are associated to the MX discovery range group as shown in 0 and the names of those
discovery ranges are updated as described in Auto discovered devices associated to MX chassis.
2.6 Prevent the discovery of iDRACs
If you prefer not to include one or few associated blade servers to be grouped under the MX chassis or if you
do not want to discover one or few associated blade servers by using the MX Chassis Discovery - All
Components filter, you can do so by adding the blade server IP address to Exclude Ranges in the Discovery
and Inventory portal.
If you prefer to discover only the MX chassis and do not want any of the associated blade servers to be auto-
discovered by using complete chassis discovery feature, clear the Enable WS-Man Discovery option in WS-
Man Configuration shown in Figure 5.
