Discovery

Discovery enables you to contact the adapters present in a specified host in your SAN. The setup 
discovery profile is saved in the SetupDiscovery.properties file to remember the history of 
each host and related attributes of discovered hosts. 

When you log in to HCM, the specified host is automatically contacted (discovered) and displayed 
on the navigation tree. By default, the local host is automatically contacted (discovered) and 
displayed on the navigation tree. When you configure and turn on discovery, the application 
discovers Brocade adapters in that host, connected to the SAN.

NOTE

The HCM application enables you to discover Brocade adapters, ports, virtual ports, remote ports, 
and LUNs using out-of-band discovery only. 

Setting up out-of-band discovery for an adapter

When performing out-of-band discovery, you are managing the adapter remotely. The application 
connects to the agent running on the host server over the IP network and product information is 
copied back from the Brocade adapter to the server. If you do not configure the application to 
directly discover the devices, the connections and attached devices may not display correctly.

1. From the Host Connectivity Manager, click Discovery > Setup.

The Setup for Discovery dialog box displays.
