Discovery 199
- ICMP Ping Device(s) —Check to send an ICMP ping to the target devices. Checking this
activates the next checkbox.
Select Filtering Options (Not Available for Inspection)
This portion of the screen lets you configure filters for discovery targets. Inspect does not use what
you configure here. It has the following fields and checkboxes:
-
Filter By ...Entering items in these fields activates the Vendor, Location, and Device Type filters.
Use the command (...) or search buttons to the right of
Vendor or Location to select these for
your discovery. You can also confine discovery to the type of device selected in the
Device Type
pick list.
-
Manage ICMP-only Device(s) —Check to manage target devices that respond only to ICMP
ping. Managing these means that their presence is recorded in the OpenManage Network
Manager database, but such management is necessarily more limited than devices that
respond to more than ping.
-
Manage Unclassified Device(s) —Check to manage target devices that do not respond to a
specific device driver, but which still may return some information with SNMP or another
protocol. See Managing Devices with the Core Device Driver on page 189 for more
information.
Select Discovery Activities (Listed in Execution Order)
This portion of the screen lists activities to perform after discovery. Use the Select Activity field
along with the command (...) and search buttons to its right to find activities. Selecting here lets
you select from those listed by default. Click
Add to list a selected activity below, checked as
Select ed. Some activities appear automatically (from the default discovery profile). Check those
you want to activate.
The
Edit button lets you configure the selected Activity’s parameters, if that is available and
appropriate. The editor also appears if you
Add a task with configurable parameters. If you select an
activity that requires user input, the standard attribute selection screen(s) for that activity appear
during Discovery. Fill in the required attributes, and Discovery continues.
Remove deletes the selected activity from the list.

configure what appears by default as described in Resource Discovery Profiles on page 204.
