You can find the OOB manageable hosts by searching a range of IP addresses
using the Add Remote Hosts dialog box. Both
Windows
and UNIX instructions appear on this page.
Windows Instructions
The Add Remote Hosts dialog box enables you to build the initial list
of OOB manageable hosts.
To add a range of hosts:
Start HBAnyware. From the Discovery menu, select Out-of-Band/Add
Range of Hosts. The Add Remote Hosts dialog box appears. Notice that part
of the range start and range end addresses are already filled in based
upon the IP address and subnet mask of the management host. Enter the complete start and end address range
and click Add. The
added address range appears in the dialog box. Add any additional ranges
you wish to search. Click Start. HBAnyware checks each address in
the range to determine if the host is available and remotely manageable.
The number of addresses discovered (of manageable hosts) is periodically
updated on the dialog box.
| Note |
The
number of addresses does not correspond directly to the number of hosts
that will be added to the discovery-tree. This is because some of the
addresses discovered may be for hosts that have already been discovered
in-band. However,
new HBAs may be discovered on those hosts that were not discovered in-band.
A host
may have more than one HBA installed and both IP addresses for that host
are discovered during the search, but only one host will possibly be added
to the discovery-tree. |
When the search is complete, click Close. A dialog box appears asking to save the IP ranges
you searched. Click Yes to save the address ranges. If you save the address
ranges, these address ranges will appear the next time you use the Add
Remote Hosts dialog box. Click No if you do not want to save the address
ranges.
