Discover Your Network
To begin managing resources in your network, you must discover them to store their information in
the application database. This begins either with the
Resource Discovery Quick Navigation button
or the
Discovery Profiles portlet.
Discovery profiles configure
equipment discovery for Dell
OpenManage Network Manager.
The summary view displays the
Name, Description, Default (the
green check indicates the default
profile), whether the profile is
Scheduled and Next Execution
Date
for scheduled discovery.
Follow these steps to start
discovering equipment on your
network.
1 Click the Resource Discovery button in Quick Navigation or right-click the Discovery Profiles
list and select
New. (If you have previously exported profiles, you can Import them. You can
also
Export Selection, or Export all profiles in this manager. Open an existing profile to edit
it.)
2 After this beginning, if you clicked the Resource Discovery button, the Quick Discovery
screen appears where you can enter device identifiers (typically IP Address(es)), and
authentications, then execute discovery. The Quick Discovery screen can also discover the
default Discovery profile if you have configured one already.
If you clicked
New in the Discovery portlet, the Discovery Profile Editor appears, with a step-
by-step set of screens to configure resource discovery, as described below.
You can navigate through the Profile Editor by clicking the screen tab names at the top, or by
clicking the
Next button at the bottom of the page.
