Remotely Reinitiating Auto-Discovery in New Environments

This feature allows you to reinitiate Auto-Discovery through WS-

Management, even though Auto-Discovery may have taken place earlier. Use

this feature to move a server from one data center to another. The Auto-

Discovery settings are persisted along with the credentials used for discovery.

When the server is powered on in the new data center, Auto-Discovery will

run according to the settings, and will download the new user credentials for

the new data center.

NOTE: The Auto-Discovery uses WS-Management, so the iDRAC administrator or

iDRAC user with Execute Server Command privilege is required.

The supported WS-Management interface to reinitiate Auto-Discovery

includes these options:

• Whether Auto-Discovery will run immediately or at the next AC power

cycle. This is a required input.

• Provisioning Server IP address/hostname. This is optional.

Regardless of the options you specify, the following operations are performed

as part of the Auto-Discovery initiation:

• Enable NIC (modular servers)

•Enable IPv4

•DHCP enable

• Disable all administrator accounts

• Disable Active Directory

• Get DNS server address from DHCP

• Get DNS domain name from DHCP
