How do I Discover Nodes?

In this step you will initiate a scan of the node IP addresses in the selected discovery rules. NSP will then attempt to manage the nodes, establishing a durable communication link and adding them to list of nodes and network map. Any nodes that are already managed by an existing classic NFM-P discovery rule will appear in the list as well.


1	Click the check boxes beside the discovery rules to select one or more discovery rules, and click DISCOVER. The windows changes to display “Discovered Nodes” as NSP starts scanning the node IP addresses listed in the discovery rule and attempting to manage the nodes according to the protocol type specified by the mediation policy.
2	This list will continue to update as the node discovery is in process in the background. Discovered nodes appear in the list and can be viewed according to their Reachability and Management State. Successfully managed nodes will display as “Reachable” and “Managed”, respectively.
3	You can manually scan (or re-scan) a discovery rule by returning to the discovery rule list, clicking , and selecting Discover for the required discovery rule. You can also choose to delete the discovery rule. Note: You cannot delete a discovery rule while it is actively scanning the network.
4	If you need to unmanage and delete a node, you can click to remove it from the managed network.
5	When you are finished this step, click CONTINUE to proceed to the next step. End of steps
