The Common Discovery Import service retrieves IPv6 data from one or more Discovery servers and adds the information to the MDB. You identify those servers as Discovery servers using the Unicenter MCC IPv6 Import tool, and you also use that tool to configure the service.
The first time Common Discovery Import runs, it retrieves all IPv6 data from the Discovery server or servers. Subsequent imports retrieve only data that has changed. You can, however, configure the IPv6 Import tool to retrieve everything.
The WorldView Topology view shows IPv6 devices under IPv6 Network in the left pane. Some devices may be visible under both TCP/IP Network and IPv6 Network if they are dual-stack and IPV4 discovery was previously run.
The Common Discovery Import service continuously polls the Discovery servers every 40 minutes for new, updated, or deleted entities. You can change this collection interval with the IPv6 Import tool. You can also stop the service.
