Discovery considerations
Initiating a full discovery for a large topology can take a considerable
amount of time, ranging from 1 hour to 2 or more hours, depending
on the actual size of the topology. Keep this in mind when scheduling
full discovery for the
IP Manager
.Also, consider scheduling automatic full discovery
during off hours (5:00 in the morning, for example). The recommends scheduling full discovery at least weekly and
pending discovery at least daily. Typically, the duration of a pending
discovery is much shorter than the duration of a full discovery.
Running the discovery more often will provide a more accurate network
topology, but will also cost more in terms of network and system resources.
