What is network discovery?Network discovery determines what gear (software and hardware) are present. Using Sun Service Tags, xVM Ops Center can automatically recognize many Sun and third-party products and add them to its inventory. Hardware and software without service tags can be added as well. More information about Sun Service Tags is available at the Service Tag FAQ page. How does the Gear Module discover gear without Sun Service Tags?A number of discovery protocols can be used - SSH, IMPI, Telnet, and SNMP can all be used. How can gear be grouped?Gear can be grouped in almost any way. Different offices can be grouped together for easy management, and machines using the same operating system can be grouped to aid in patching or updating. How can I locate a specific gear?The Gear Module categorizes gear by type, so you can easily look at all instances of the same operating system or piece of hardware. In addition, the Gear Module contains a filter function which can be used to easily search for gear. What questions do you have? |
