Discovering Resources

Discovery profiles configure equipment discovery for 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

The Expanded portlet adds a Reference Tree snap panel that displays a tree of associations between

selected profiles and authentication and tasks that they execute. See

Discovery Profiles

on page

165 for more about this portlet.

You can import discovery profiles to target multitenant domains with a command line importer.

The command is

importprofiles

and is in the

owareapps/redcell/bin

directory. This

command takes the import file name an argument. The required domains should be available in

the OpenManage Network Manager system before import occurs. Before importing discovery

profiles to domains, any referenced authentications should be available in the domains or should be

imported first by using the

importauths

command (the same way you would import discovery

files). In other words, you should either manually create authentications for domains or import

authentication files using importauths command before importing discovery files to those

domains. Example XML files (with the

tag for domains) are in

owareapps\redcell\db.

NOTE:

The date format follows the operating system’s conventions for the location and language selected.

Restarting the system changes system menus to the new language. If you want to revert back to the

original language in Linux, you may also need to update the cache file under

/var/cache/gdm.

Here are the resource discovery tasks outlined in this sections:
