How Agent Discovery Works

Agent Discovery occurs automatically after you install Agent Technology and start the Agent Technology services. The Agent Technology WorldView Gateway service locates agents running on the network objects discovered during Discovery, IPX Discovery, and SAN Discovery.

After you install Agent Technology and start the Gateway services, you must close WorldView so that the Distributed State Machine Gateway can get information about the nodes that WorldView has discovered. When you restart the 2D Map, managed objects appear for all of the agents and agent objects that have been discovered.
