HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.2
• Table 3-2 (page 58) and discover(8) contain information about additional keywords you
can add to the command line to omit some of the questions that will be asked during
the discovery process. Use of these keywords is optional.
• If you encounter problems during the discovery process, see “Troubleshooting the
Discovery Process” (page 165) for troubleshooting guidelines.
• The discover command does not properly discover HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145
servers until the password is set. Running the discover command now determines
the IP address of the console ports so you can use the telnet command to access the
console ports and set the password. This process is described in “Modify the Default
Password for HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 Hardware Models” (page 73).
5. Look at the screen and follow along with the command output. Table 3-2 (page 58) describes
each prompt and provides information to help you with your answers.
• The sample output shown in Example 3-1 (page 68) was created by using the --verbose
option on a small HP XC system with six HP ProLiant servers (Opteron architecture).
• The sample output shown in Example 3-2 (page 70) was created on an large-scale HP
XC system with more than one region.
The output you see will be different. The information you are prompted to supply depends
on whether or not you entered additional keywords on the command line.
