Discovering Nodes
Figure 3-11. The Discover Manager Window
You cannot execute a new discover session if a previous session is still running or if the
Discover window from a previous session is still open. If either of these conditions exists,
a footer message at the bottom of the Discover Manager window will indicate that a
discover is in progress (as illustrated in
Figure 3-11 ). To clear this condition, close the
Discover Manager window, activate the Network Discover window (which may be
minimized or hidden behind the main NetSight Element Manager window), wait for the
active discover session to complete (or stop it, as described in
Stopping a Discover in
Progress , page 3-17 ), close the Network Discover window, re-launch the Discover
Manager, and execute your new session.
When you have successfully launched a discover session, the Discover Manager window
automatically closes, and the Network Discover window (
Figure 3-12 , below) opens. For
more detailed information about this window and the discover process, see the following
sections.
You can’t execute a discover script while a
Net Discover window is still open — either
because there is a discover still in progress,
or because the window was not closed
when a previous discover completed.
