When discovery occurs

VoIP Availability Manager may initiate a discovery cycle of the VoIP objects whenever:

• IP Availability Manager completes a discovery cycle.

  By default, each time IP Availability Manager completes a discovery cycle (a discovery from a seed file, a full discovery, or a single device discovery), VoIP Availability Manager performs a topology synchronization to import device topology information from IP Availability Manager. It then performs its own discovery by probing the devices to discover or rediscover VoIP objects.

  By default, VoIP Availability Manager probes only SNMP-enabled devices that IP Availability Manager rediscovers. VoIP Availability Manager can be configured to probe every SNMP-enabled device after each IP Availability Manager discovery. To change the default behavior, specify the TRUE value for the DiscoverAll parameter in the voip.conf file, as described in the VMware Smart Assurance VoIP Availability Manager Configuration Guide.

• VoIP Availability Manager is restarted or communication is lost and then reestablished between VoIP Availability Manager and IP Availability Manager.

  When VoIP Availability Manager is restarted, it probes the devices that were probed by IP Availability Manager while VoIP Availability Manager was not running.
