3. Click Start Discovery. If an address is remotely manageable, it is added to the list of addresses
that the discovery server will attempt to discover. The utility creates a host file if necessary, and
checks each address in the range to determine if the host is available and remotely
manageable. The number of addresses (of manageable hosts) discovered is periodically
updated on the dialog box.
4. You can save the IP address ranges. Click Save Ranges to File to save the specified range(s)
to a file so that these address ranges appear the next time you use the Add Range of TCP/IP
Hosts dialog box.
Removing Hosts
Removing hosts that are no longer discovered improves the operation of the discovery server. For
example, you may want to remove a host when it is removed from the network. (Not available in read-
only mode.)
To remove hosts:
1. From the Discovery menu, select TCP/IP>Remove Host(s). The Remove Hosts dialog box
shows a list of discovered hosts. Any host that is not currently discovered appears in red. Click
Show Undiscovered Hosts Only to display only currently undiscovered hosts.
2. From the Remove Hosts dialog box, select the hosts you want to remove. You can select all the
displayed hosts by clicking Select All.
3. Click Remove to remove the selected hosts.
Configuring Discovery, CIM Credentials and TCP/IP Settings
Use the OneCommand Manager application Discovery Settings dialog box to configure several
discovery server parameters. You can define when to start the discovery server, when to refresh FC and
TCP/IP accessed discoveries and when to remove previously discovered adapters that are no longer
being discovered. You can also define default CIM credentials such as the protocol, user name, port
number, password and name space. For TCP/IP management, you can specify an IP port number,
change an IP port number and enable a port for TCP/IP management.
For example, some of the addresses discovered may be for hosts that have already been discovered
over FC. However, new adapters can be discovered on those hosts that were not discovered over FC.
Also, a host can have more than one IP address assigned to it. If multiple IP addresses for a host are
Note: The number of addresses does not correspond directly to the number of hosts added
to the discovery-tree.

that were not discovered over FC.
Also, a host can have more than one IP address assigned to it. If multiple IP
addresses for a host are discovered during the search, the host will be added to the
discovery tree only once.
Note: Management of CIM hosts is only supported on Windows systems.
