3. After you have provided at least one IP address, IP range, host name, or a combination thereof,

continue to customize the discovery and inventory options or complete the configuration using the

default options. Clicking Finish without setting any further configurations immediately runs the

discovery and inventory tasks using the default SNMP and ICMP protocols. It is recommended that

you review and revise your protocol configurations prior to clicking

Finish.

For more information about each protocol listed below, click - (Why do I need this?) help in the

appropriate protocol configuration screen.

NOTE: When discovering ESXi-based servers, to view the guest virtual machines grouped with

the host, enable and configure the WS-Man protocol.

NOTE: By default, SNMP is enabled and values are assigned ICMP parameters.

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

to complete the Discovery Range Configuration.

– In ICMP Configuration, to detect devices on the network, edit the ICMP parameters.

– In SNMP Configuration, to discover servers, provide the SNMP parameters. Ensure that the SNMP

community string specified in Get Community matches the SNMP community string of the

device or devices you wish to discover.

NOTE: iDRAC only supports only the default SNMP port 161. If the default SNMP port is

changed, iDRAC may not get discovered.

– In WMI Configuration, 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 Configuration, to discover PowerVault modular disk array or EMC devices, edit

parameters.

– In WS-Man Configuration, to enable discovery of Dell PowerEdge VRTX, iDRAC 6, iDRAC 7, and

ESXi installed servers, provide WS-Man parameters.

– In SSH Configuration, to enable discovery of Linux-based servers, provide the SSH parameters.

– In IPMI Configuration, to enable server discovery, provide the IPMI parameters. IPMI is typically

used to discover BMC or iDRACs on Dell 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.

– Review your selections in the Summary screen and click Finish. To change any of the parameters

in previous configuration screens, click Back. When complete, click Finish.
