The discovery mechanism is designed to pull and import the device data from all Vblock components into a single database. UIM utilizes HTTP(S) to communicate via the XML API to the UCS.
A list of items is required for the discovery of a Vblock system. Each Vblock system must have a unique name. The Description field is optional but is displayed on the Vblock tab, so if there is a good business use to distinguish Vblock systems, it is a useful entry.
The high-level results of the discovery will be displayed within the Results screen. Details about the blades, storage, and network can be viewed on their respective tabs in the Administration view. For example, storage details can be seen in the Storage Pool tab.
When discovery finishes, you will see a Blade Pool that identifies all UCS blades with the chassis, slot, model, CPU, and memory. Also, it discovers network profiles...
