Families tree view and moving downward. Appliances are automatically added to
the first defined Family that matches the appliance purpose. Therefore, the order

v
Orphaned Appliances
Any discovered appliances that have been configured using the IAACU but that
do not meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the
Orphaned Appliances group.
v
Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances
Any discovered appliance that has been configured without using the IAACU tool
and that does not meet the rules for any existing Family is automatically added to
the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. Appliances configured
without the IAACU that meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically
added to the matching Family. To add an Orphaned Externally configured
Appliance to an appropriate Family that was created after the orphaned
appliance was discovered, right-click on the orphaned appliance and select
Adopt by First Matching Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by
First Matching Family Function” on page 14.
Note: The IAACU will not change manually configured network settings of
discovered appliances. If the manually configured IP and Subnet
addresses fit an existing Family, the IAACU will place that appliance into
that Family, but will not change any other settings (such as Host Name,
DNS, or gateway addresses).
v
Conflicting Network Addresses
Any discovered appliance that has the same IP address as a previously
discovered appliance will be listed in the Conflicting Network Addresses group.
