Restricting a search by node
When a device is assigned to a product group, it may be listed in the Product node, as well as
Product Groups node. Therefore the search results include the device under both the Product node
and the Product Group node.
NOTE
Search does not search automatically collapsed fabrics. You must expand the fabric (right-click and
select Expand) and repeat the search.
NOTE
To search for a device, the device must be discovered and display in the topology.
