6. Start the automatic discovery of all network components in your system; t his step uses the
simplest form of the command:
# ./discover --system [--oldmp][--verbose]
_______ Notes About the discover Command Line _______
At the tim e of publication, the --oldmp option is required for Itanium-b ased
systems because their management processors (MPs) have statically-set IP
addresses and are not configured to use D HCP.
The --oldmp o ption does not apply to Opteron- or Xeon-based systems
because those systems use iLO and LO-100i as their console port management
devices. Do not include the --oldmp option on the command line for
Opteron- or X eon-based systems.
HP recom mends that you include the --verbose option because it provides
useful feedback and enables you to follow the discovery p ro cess.
