CAUTION:
The first time you start the application after you install it, you may have to wait an additional five minutes
for Application to completely start. One indication you have started too soon is that the Quick Navigation
portlet does not appear properly. Also: Web server may indicate it has fully started before it is entirely
ready. In rare instances, this may also inhibit correct communication with the client interface. If Dell
OpenManage Network Manager appears stuck after application server is running completely, restart the
web server.
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.
