Essentials
Answer—It is recommended that you either discover each blade server individually or discover the
chassis and its components by using the MX Chassis Discovery – All Components filter of the Guided
Wizard. If you had discovered a few blade servers prior to discovering the chassis using the MX Chassis
Discovery – All Components filter of the Guided Wizard, do the following:
1. Edit the chassis discovery range group.
2. Select the MX Chassis Discovery – All Components filter.
3. Provide the credentials of the chassis and the blade servers (iDRACs).
4. Save the changes.
5. Right-click the chassis range group and click Perform Discovery and Inventory Now.
The blade servers will use the WS-Man credentials during the next inventory cycle.
5. Question—How can I delete all the auto discovered blade servers along with MX chassis?
Answer—To delete all the auto-discovered blade servers along with MX chassis, delete the Group
created for the MX chassis.
6. Question—Can I discover multiple MX chassis or IP Ranges by using MX Chassis Discovery – All
Components filter?
Answer—Yes. See the information included after step 13 in Discover the MX chassis and its iDRAC
components section.
