The Physical Platforms page allows you to customize the discovery
parameters for physical platforms.
Complete the following steps to configure discovery preferences for
physical platforms:
- In IBM Director Console,
click .
- In the Discovery Preferences window on the Physical Platforms page,
configure the general preferences for discovering service processors:
- In the Auto-discover period (hours) field,
select the frequency with which IBM Director Server attempts
to discover service processors automatically. The possible range is one to
168 hours (seven days). By default, autodiscovery is disabled.
- In the Presence Check period (minutes) field,
select the frequency that IBM Director Server checks
the status of each service processor. A presence check detects whether an
SNMP device is online or offline. The possible range is one to 240 minutes
(four hours); this feature also can be disabled. By default,
a presence check is set to occur every 15 minutes.
- Specify the conventions that IBM Director Server uses
when you rename service processors automatically. By default, this naming
template is set to IBM %CHASSIS_MACHINE_TYPE_MODEL% %CHASSIS_SERIAL_NUMBER%.
- Click a parameter in the Selected Parameters field;
then, click Remove. Continue until you have removed
the default parameters.
- In the Available Parameters field, click
a parameter; then, click Add. The parameter is added
to the Selected Parameters list and the Naming
Template field. Continue until you have selected all the parameters
that you want to use.
To restore the renaming conventions to the default setting, select the Reset
to default value check box.
