If no new Remote Console Switches were found (or if you clicked Stop), the Wizard will
show the No New Remote Console Switches Found page and you will need to add the
switch manually. For more information, see the previous procedure.
4 Click the Remote Console Switch(es) you wish to add and click the Add (>) button to
move the selection to the Remote Console Switches to Add list.
Figure 3-7. Select Remote Console Switches to Add Dialog Box
5 Repeat step 4 for all Remote Console Switches you wish to add. Click Next to continue.
6 The Adding Remote Console Switches progress bar appears while the new switches are
being added. Once all of the selected switches have been added to the local database, the
Discover Wizard Completed page appears. Click Finish to exit the Wizard and return to
the main window. Your new switches should now be in the Unit Selector pane.
7 If one or more switches could not be added to the local database for any reason (including
if you clicked Stop during the add process), the Discover Wizard Not All Remote Console
Switches Added page appears. This page will list all of the switches that you selected and
the status for each. The status will indicate if a Remote Console Switch was added to the
local database and if not, why the process failed. Click Done when you are finished
reviewing the list.
NOTE: If a Remote Console Switch already exists in the database with the same IP address as a
discovered unit, then the discovered switch will be ignored and will not display on the next Wizard page.
