The appliance will attempt to add any SP with an assigned IP address. If the default user list contains valid SP credentials,
the appliance will be able to leverage the accounts list to find matching credentials. If the appliance is able to successfully
log in, the SP will appear within the targets list.
To add/edit credentials in the default users list:
1.
Browse to
Targets - SP Management - Default Users
.
2.
Click
Add
to add a new user.
-or-
Click the username to edit the user.
3.
Add or edit the username and password.
4. Add or edit the description as desired.
5.

Logical discovery
The appliance supports creation of up to 20 discovery queues that can be leveraged to discover SPs on the network. The
discovery ranges define a start-stop IPv4 address that the appliance will scan looking for SPs. The discovery can be run as
Manual (run-once) or Automatic (runs according to defined minute interval).
If the appliance can identify the SP type and log in using credentials from the default user list, the SPs will be added to the
list of targets. If the appliance cannot identify or log in to the SP, nothing will be added and you will need to either manually
add it or use the Import SP feature.
To discover service processors:
1.
In the navigation menu, click
Targets - Discovery
.
2.
From the IP Ranges tab, click
Add Range
to open the Modify Search Range screen.
3.
Enter the name for the search then enter the IP addresses for the range in the From and To fields.
4. Use the drop-down menu to either manually or automatically start the search.
5.
If you want to automatically discover devices on a timed interval, you can enter an interval range from 10
minutes to 30 days. Enter the time interval in dd-hh-mm (days-hours-minutes) format.
6. Use the right and left arrows to select the discoverable targets classes to search.
NOTE: Available target classes are Dell SPs, HP SPs, IBM SPs, other SPs, Rack PDUs and terminal servers.
7.
Click
Apply
to begin the discovery process.
NOTE: Rescanning the same IP range in an environment that is mostly static will consume appliance processing
resources and increase network traffic unnecessarily. Automatic discovery is only recommended for dynamic
environments that undergo frequent change.
Default Users
The appliance contains a list of default usernames and passwords that will be used when adding and discovering devices.
You can add to or modify the credentials in this list. The description can be used to identify an account. You can also delete
a default user by clicking the box next to it and clicking
Delete
.
To add or modify a default user:
1.
From the sidebar, click
Targets - SP
Management - Default Users
.
2.
Click
Add
to add a new user.
-or-
Click a hyperlinked username to modify that user.
3.
Enter or modify the username, password and description.
4. Use the right and left arrows to select the discoverable target classes for the user.
