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 the
orphaned appliance and select
Adopt by First Matching Family . For more
information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching Family function” on page 19.
Note: The IAACU does 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 does 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.
