Initiating a discovery
The
and the
describe the various discovery
methods for an
IP Manager
. Because the
is a specially configured instance of an
IP Manager
, all of the discovery methods are available to the
.You can use any of the following methods to initiate a discovery in the
. Be aware that if the NumberOfDomains configuration parameter is set, any of these discovery methods will trigger a topology split in the
.
- From a Domain Manager Administration Console that is attached to the :
- SelectTopology >Import from seed file, or click theImport from seedfile toolbar button (
), to import a seed
file that lists the seed devices that are to be added to the
’s topology.This method is used to add a large number of devices. It is typically used to perform a full discovery, but can also be used to perform an incremental discovery if a large number of new devices have been added to the managed IP network. - SelectTopology >Add Agent, or click theAdd Agenttoolbar button (
), to add seed devices to the
’s topology one at a time.This method is used to add a small number of devices. It is typically used to perform an incremental discovery. - SelectTopology >Discover Allto rediscover all managed devices in the ’s repository, and to discover the devices on the ’s Pending Devices list.
- SelectTopology >Discover Pendingto discover just the devices on the ’s Pending Devices list.
- Right-click a device on the ’s Pending Devices list and then selectRediscoverfrom the pop-up menu to rediscover that device.
- Click a device in the ’s topology tree and then selectTopology>Rediscoverto rediscover that device. You can also rediscover a device by right-clicking it and selectingRediscoverfrom the pop-up menu.
- From the command line:
- Go to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and enter the following command to start the , import a seed file that lists the seed devices that are to be added to the topology, and initiate a discovery:sm_server --name=<TSM name>--config=icf--bootstrap=bootstrap-tsm.conf --seedfile=<seed file name>--ignore-restore-errors --noreconfigure --output --daemondmctl -s<TSM name>invokeICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager importFromFile<seed file name>sm_tpmgr -s<TSM name>--seed=<seed file name>
- Go to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and enter the following command to rediscover all managed devices in the ’s repository, and to discover the devices on the ’s Pending Devices list:dmctl -s<TSM name>invokeICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager discoverAll
- Go to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and enter the following command to discover just the devices on the ’s Pending Devices list:dmctl -s<TSM name>invokeICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager discoverPending
