110 Command Line User Interface
armdiscover
Description
The armdiscover command performs a discovery that identifies all arrays
attached to a host. In addition to being output to the screen, the results of this
command are stored in a database file, which is accessed by the armdsp -i
command to display array information. Command options allow the discovery
and storage of results on remote hosts.
Note The armdiscover command should be run after adding a
new array to a host on which Command View SDM is already
running. This will add the new array to the management
configuration.
In an OpenView SAM environment, the armdiscover
command retrieves device information from the SAM database,
and does not initiate a discovery process. Consequently, the
command executes much quicker in SAM.
Syntax
armdiscover [<managementhost>] [-h <devicehost>] [-s ] [-v ] [-n ] [-delete]
armdiscover -?
Options
<managementhost> Identifies the host on which the results of the armdiscover process are
stored. If not specified, the results are stored in the database on the local
host on which the command is being run. This allows a remote client to
initiate the armdiscover process and store the results on a different
management station.
-h <devicehost> Identifies the host which the armdiscover process will gather information
from. This allows a management host to gather information about arrays
connected to remote hosts. If not included, the default is
<managementhost>
.
