Enter the MAC address of the switch that is connected to the administration ports.
Do not enter the MAC address of the switch connected to the console ports.
2
Enter the password for the Root Administration Switch that you previously defined
when you prepared the hardware. If you did not preset a password, press the Enter
key.
3
Enter the common user name and password that you previously defined for the
console port management devices (the iLO, LO-100i, or MP devices) when you
prepared the hardware. If you did not predefine these items, press the Enter key.
4
If the discover process hangs while trying to discover console ports, see Chapter 14
(page 173).
5
This is expected behavior. Because this is a cluster discovery process, the command
output No Switch Found or No Node Found is expected. This message does
not indicate a failure unless a network component is plugged into that port on the
switch.
If necessary, see Chapter 14 (page 173) for information about troubleshooting
problems you might encounter during the discovery process.
Example 4-2 shows the command output that is unique for a large-scale system with two
regions; all other command output is similar to the previous example.

6. If the hardware configuration contains HP workstations and you installed SVA, turn on
power to the render and display workstations. Then, when prompted, turn off power to the
same nodes, leaving the head node power turned on.
7. If you captured the output of the discover command in a file (described in step 2), press
Ctrl-d now to end the script session.
This file is for your information only. Store this file in a directory where you keep
administrative data.
8. Do one of the following:
• Proceed to Section 4.6 (page 74) if the hardware configuration contains HP ProLiant
DL140 and DL145 hardware models.
• Proceed to Chapter 5 (page 77) if the hardware configuration does not contain HP
ProLiant DL140 and DL145 hardware models.
4.3 Discovering Hardware Configurations with Server Blades and More
Than One Enclosure
The HP XC System Software has been designed to communicate directly with the Onboard
Administrator (OA) on each enclosure. Thus, the discover command obtains the required
configuration information directly from the OA to automatically discover all components in the
hardware configuration.
