Discovery Issue

[P Glickenhaus]

I am having issues with Discovery. I am suddenly getting workstations being discovered. I am using automatic discovery but the ping inclusion ranges do not include the suubnets where the workstations reside.

How do I troubleshoot and determine how these workstations oare being discovered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

There's a setting where SIM recieves alerts from machines in a 'broadcast' context. THis means it's not looking for them, but they are looking for it.

Turn that off and you should be fine.

Is that the setting to discover system if an alert is received?

[Steve Weeks_1]

In discovery, add system, Automatic, configure general settings.

Automatically discover a system when an event is received from it
Automatically discover a server blade when its Integrated Lights Out management processor is identified
Discover systems in an enclosure when Onboard Administrator is discovered

Any of the three of them ticked ?

You can also check in your Automatic Discovery settings, under Configure General Settings. Make sure Workstation has not become checked.
