Command Line User Interface
Using armdiscover in a OpenView SAM environment
When Command View SDM is integrated into an OpenView SAM
environment, armdiscover has little or no effect on the database
maintained by SAM. This is the database used by Command View SDM to
retrieve and display device information. This causes problems when changing
the alias on a device seen by systems other than the one from which the
armdiscover command was issued.
Also, if the armdiscover
-delete command is used in an attempt to delete
devices from the Command View SDM configuration, the devices will not be
deleted from the SAM database. They will still appear in
Command View SDM.
Examples
The following examples discovers the arrays connected to the host and outputs
the results. The -v option is used for displaying additional information about
each array.

-delete Delete the database entries for all devices discovered on the host
specified by <devicehost>. The entries are deleted from the database on
the host identified by <managementhost>. This option is useful for
deleting entries for a host that is no longer is use. Until the entries are
deleted, icons for the arrays that were connected to the host will remain in
the database and be displayed in the Launcher window.
-n Causes the command to not run OpenDIAL. Instead, the results of the last
OpenDIAL scan are used. This makes the armdiscover process faster in
situations where the device configurations have not changed.
-s Suppresses the display of discovered devices. You can use armdsp -i to
display discovered devices at a later time.
-v Displays additional information for each discovered device (see example
below). The display consists of multiple lines per device.
