the interconnect found on the head node; specific command options are not necessary for those
interconnect types.
• HP recommends that you include the --verbose option because it provides useful feedback and
enables you to follow the discovery process.
• Table 4-1 (page 37) and discover(8) contain information about additional keywords you can add
to the command line to bypass some of the questions that will be asked during the discovery
process. Use of these keywords is strictly optional.
If you encounter problems during the discovery process, refer to “Troubleshooting the Discovery Process”
(page 141) for troubleshooting guidelines.
The discover command does not properly discover HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 nodes until the
password is set. Running the discover command now sets up the IP address of the console ports so
you can then telnet into them and set the password. This process is described in step 6.
4. Follow along with the command output. The following example output was created using the --verbose
option on a small, six-node Opteron-based system. The output you see will be different, especially if
you have a large-scale system. The information you supply depends on whether or not you entered
additional keywords on the command line.
Table 4-1 describes each prompt and provides information to help you with your answers.
