Monitoring - Discovery

Use this window to define and run a Discovery job. Use Discovery jobs to find new Windows machines that have been introduced into your environment. Discovery jobs will locate new Windows machines within your environment only--they do not discover machines running non-Windows operating systems.

For IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager to recognize a new non-Windows machine, you must install and license an agent on that machine.

To indicate when to run a Discovery job and what alerts to set:

  1. Expand the Monitoring section of the function tree and click the Discovery node. The content pane displays the two tabs for defining the parameters for the Discovery job: When to Run and Alert.

  2. Enter the desired values in the tabs.

  3. Click to save the Discovery job definition.

When you expand the Discovery node in the function tree, a sub node for each job that has run will appear. The number of jobs that is kept for viewing is definable in the configuration facility of the product.
