Discovering a Chassis and its Components Using the

Guided Wizard

When you discover a chassis using the Chassis (CMC) Discovery — All Components device type filter

within the Guided Wizard, OpenManage Essentials automatically discovers the components in the

chassis (blade servers and IOA switches). To discover the chassis and its components, you must provide

the hostname/IP address and WS-Man credentials of the CMC.

By default, the blade servers (iDRACs) in the chassis are discovered using the WS-Man credentials you

provide for the CMC. If the credentials of the CMC and the iDRACs are not the same, you can provide an

alternate WS-Man credentials for discovering the iDRACs.

NOTE: If required, you can use the Guided Wizard to only discover the chassis.

NOTE: Automatic discovery of the blade servers in a chassis is supported only for Dell's 11th or later

generation of PowerEdge servers (iDRAC 6 or later).

NOTE: For discovering a PowerEdge M1000e chassis and its components, ensure that CMC

firmware version 5.0 or later is installed. If the firmware installed is prior to version 5.0, you must

discover the chassis and its components individually using the

Standard Wizard.

NOTE: Automatic discovery of IOA switches is supported only if CMC firmware version 5.1 or later is

installed on PowerEdge M1000e and CMC firmware version 1.3 or later is installed on PowerEdge

FX2/FX2s.

To discover a chassis and its components using the Guided Wizard:

1. Click Manage → Discovery and Inventory.

The Discovery and Inventory Portal is displayed.

2. Under Common Tasks, click Add Discovery Range.

The Discovery Range Configuration page of the Discovery Devices wizard is displayed.

3. Select the Save as Group option and type a name for the group in the appropriate field.

NOTE: It is mandatory to save the discovery range as a group for discovering the chassis using

the Guided Wizard.

4. Type hostname/IP address of the CMC in the appropriate field and click Add.

5. Click Next.
