Configuring discovery general settings
Procedure 45 Configuring automatic discovery
1. In the For all automatic discoveries section, select Configure general settings. The General
Settings for All Discoveries section appears.
2. Select from the following options:
• Automatically discover a system when an event is received from it. Enables systems to be
discovered when a trap or some other supported event is received by HP SIM. It uses the
discovery filters and IP address exclusion ranges for additional filtering of these events.
This option is not selected by default.
• Automatically discover a server when its Integrated Lights Out management processor is
identified. Adds server blades when the server’s management processor is discovered.
The discovered servers are identified as Disabled on the system table view page. The
following information is displayed: server model name, UUID, serial number, server name
and protocols, DeviceType and SubTypes and so on. If the management processor is in
a c-Class enclosure, the option, Discover systems in an enclosure when ProLiant Onboard
Administrator is discovered must be enabled.
• Automatically discover systems in an enclosure when Onboard Administrator is discovered.
Adds systems identified by the Onboard Administrator even if the systems are not in the
configured discovery range. This option is selected by default.
NOTE: You must select this option to create a VCDomain node and enable virtual
connect functionality.
This option must be selected to add a newly inserted server blade (one that does not exist
in HP SIM database) as a bare metal managed system in the HP SIM database after
receiving the Server Blade Inserted trap. If this option is not selected, the Server Blade
Inserted trap is logged only and the blade is not automatically added to the enclosure.
