Initiating autodiscovery

The IP Manager provides two options for initiating a manual discovery, which are done through the Domain Manager Administration Console: Option 1: Import a seed file that lists one or more seed systems to be added to the topology. This option is best for adding a set of systems. See “Using the import from seed file command to initiate discovery” on page 78 Option 2: Add seed systems to the topology one at a time by using the Add Agent command. This option is best for adding a small number of systems.See:“Adding an SNMPv1/v2c seed system” on page 78 “Adding an SNMPv3 seed system” on page 79

When autodiscovery is enabled, use either option to initiate the autodiscovery process. When enabled and initiated, autodiscovery will occur whenever either a full discovery occurs or a system on the Pending Devices list is successfully discovered. Use any one of these two options: “Using the import from seed file command to initiate discovery” on page 78, or “Adding an SNMPv1/v2c seed system” on page 78 “Adding an SNMPv3 seed system” on page 79
