Discover a System

You can specify a single system to be discovered, managed, and optionally assigned to a service.

Note: SystemEDGE or CA Performance Lite Agent cannot be installed on HMC/IVM servers and therefore no HMC/IVM system data can be collected for IBM Power Series servers. See also the "Configuring Resources" chapter in the Administration Guide.

To discover a system

1. Select Resources, Manage, Discover System.
2. Complete the following fields:

   System Name

   Specifies the name or IP address of the server.

3. (Optional) Click Next.

   The Enhanced Discovery and SNMP Information dialog appears.

4. (Optional) Enable Enhanced Discovery to perform detailed discovery using SoftAgent technology.
5. (Optional) Enable Override SNMP Defaults to perform detailed discovery using SNMP information.
6. Click Finish.

   A success message appears when the system is discovered. Discovered servers are automatically managed, but servers in a subnet discovery are not managed.
