Discovered Servers View
After creating the local group, iDRAC group manager notifies all other iDRACs on the local network that a new group has been
created. For iDRACs to be displayed under Discovered Servers, group manager feature should be enabled in each iDRAC.
Discovered Servers View displays the list of the iDRACs detected on the same network, which can be part of any group. If an
iDRAC does not show up in the discovered systems list then the user must logon to the specific iDRAC and join the group. The
iDRAC that created the group will be shown as the only member in the essentials view until more iDRACs are joined to the
group.
NOTE:
Discovered servers view at the Group manager console allows you to onboard one or more servers listed in the view
in to that group. The progress of the activity can be tracked from GroupManager > Jobs. Alternatively you can logon to
the iDRAC and select the group you would like to onboard from the drop down list to join that group. You can access the
GroupManager welcome screen from iDRAC index page.
