ConfiguringDiscovery
Here is how the discovery process works.
- The components that are required for discovery are deployed when you install UIM Server. See Discovery Probe Deployment for deployment considerations.
- If your installation includes secondary hubs, configureprobeDiscoveryqueues so that messages with the probe_discovery subject reach the primary hub. See Configure Discovery Queues.
- You install UMP, which includes the Discovery Wizard.
- After you install UMP, the Discovery Wizard launches in USM and leads you through the process of configuring discovery. You will:If you don't want to create your inventory now or if you want to create it solely with file-based import, cancel the wizard. You can run discovery or import devices at any time.
- To augment automated discovery, you can prepare an XML file with device information and can import this information into the device inventory. See Run File-based Import.If desired, you can create your inventory solely with file-based import.
- When discovery is complete, you can view computers and devices that have been discovered on your network. See View Discovered Systems.
- You can schedule discovery to update the list of system components automatically in the Discovery Wizard in the Schedule tab.
