Figure 2: WS-Man setup screen for a discovery range.
TIP: The SNMP protocol can also be enabled along with WS-Man. OME will
automatically select the protocol that provides the best management (WS-Man
in this case). Unlike WS-Man, multiple community name credentials can be
entered for SNMP, separated by commas, if desired.
Once the IP Address(es) and the protocols have been setup in the discovery
range wizard, select to perform both a discovery and inventory. Once
discovery is done, your VRTX components should show up under the All Devices
-> Modular Systems -> PowerEdge VRTX node in the device tree (see Figure 3).
A tree node, having the name <CMC_hostname>_Chassis will automatically be
created for each VRTX chassis, with the chassis controller, server nodes, and
network switch under it.
