82 IBM Systems Director Management Console: Introduction and Overview
The blade servers discovered directly and the blade servers that are discovered
through an AMM can coexist in the SDMC environment. SDMC can manage both
these blade servers at the same time.
5.1.3 Using the command-line interface
You can also use the command-line interface to perform the System Discovery
and Request Access tasks. To perform system discovery, run the following
command:
smcli discover -i <IP Address>
The IP address of the system can be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. The
command has other options that help discover systems based on host name, a
range of IP addresses, or the resource type.
To request access to the system, run the following command:
smcli accesssys <system name>
The system name is the name of the discovered system. You can use the lssys
command to discover the name of the discovered system.
Enter the user ID and password when you are prompted after executing this
command. The Access State of the system changes to OK after successful
authentication. You can now start managing the system.
5.1.4 Auto discovery
The auto discovery feature works very similar to how it works on the HMC. If the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is already configured on
SDMC, it parses the IP addresses from the lease database and discovers the
systems located in the IP addresses automatically.
You still have to request access to the auto-discovered systems with the right
credentials to start managing it.
Important: If you issue the smcli discover command without any options,
SDMC discovers all the resources on the subnet, including resources that you
do not want to manage. You might have to manually remove all the resources
that you do not want to manage.
