The first discovery performed after installation is called the initial discovery. Establish the following environment before performing the initial discovery:
Discovering the hardware information
Discovering the hardware configuration information
Register the hardware information of the discovery target using the hardware information management command.
Confirm that the manager of this product can communicate with the hardware to be discovered.
Information
In order to collect CPU information and memory information of a blade server, the target blade server must have been powered on at least one time.
When collecting chassis and blade server information, confirm that the chassis is powered on.
Discovering the virtual environment configuration information
Register the hardware information and the VM host information of the discovery target using the hardware information management command.
Install VMware Tools on the VM guest.
Confirm that the VM host and the VM guest are powered on.
Specify the admin LAN subnet address in the "Hardware discovery definition file". For details on the "Hardware discovery definition file", refer to the Reference Guide.
If Host Isolation Response of vSphere HA clusters has been set to Leave Powered On, when isolating the VM host, the VM host information is not updated by discovery. In addition, the information of the VM guests on that VM host will be deleted.
Hardware Information
Perform the initial discovery of hardware information by executing the following command:
[Windows]
%SWCFMGM_INSTALL_PATH%\CMDB\FJSVcmdbm\bin\cmdbrefresh.exe -q type=AGT_CFMGSRV |
[Linux]
/opt/FJSVcfmgm/CMDB/FJSVcmdbm/bin/cmdbrefresh.sh -q type=AGT_CFMGSRV |
Point
Guide to the time required for the initial discovery
It is recommended that the initial discovery be executed before operations commence.
The following tables show an approximate indication of the time required for the initial discovery:
Hardware configuration information
Blade server
Number of physical servers | Time required for the initial discovery |
|---|---|
500 | 100 minutes or more |
Rack mount server
Number of physical servers | Time required for the initial discovery |
|---|---|
500 | 170 minutes or more |
Virtual environment configuration information
Number of Virtual guests | Time required for the initial discovery |
|---|---|
500 | 10 minutes or more |
1,000 | 20 minutes or more |
1,500 | 30 minutes or more |
