Discovering Sun x86 Servers

Once you have installed Oracle HMC 3.1 for Operations Manager and configured your monitored nodes, you have to discover your Sun x86 servers using the Operations Manager Discovery Wizard. During the process of discovering Sun x86 servers, you should detect your Sun x86 servers as Windows computers. For more information on discovering servers in Operations Manager, please see the Operations Manager documentation.

By default servers are detected every 12 hours. You can optionally adjust how frequently Operations Manager discovers servers, see Changing the Frequency of Server Discovery for more information.

Changing the Frequency of Server Discovery

By default the Sun Server Discovery Rules run every 12 hours. You can modify how frequently the Sun Server Discovery Rules run for supported servers so that your Sun x86 servers can be discovered with less delay. There is one Sun Server Discovery Rule for each supported server.

To change the frequency of server discovery:

1. In the Operations Console, click Authoring.
2. In the Authoring pane, under Management Pack Objects click Object Discoveries.

   The Object Discoveries list opens.

3. Optionally, type Sun into the Look for text box and click Find Now. This filters the Object Discoveries list to only show your Sun x86 servers.
4. Click on the row called "Sun x86 server discovery" in the Object Discoveries list.
5. In the Actions panel, select Overrides -> Override the Object Discovery -> For all objects of class: Windows Server.

   The Override Properties window opens.

6. The Interval seconds parameter can be modified to adjust the discovery frequency, measured in seconds.
7. Click Apply to make the change permanent.
8. In the Object Discoveries list, find the row Discovered Type: Sun Server and click the Sun Server Discovery row.
9. In the Actions panel, select Overrides -> Override the Object Discovery -> For all objects of type: Windows Server.
