Parameters

• ip – Specify the management network IP addresses of the provisionable servers you want to discover. You can specify multiple instances of ip in one of the following ways, separated by commas:

  • ip-address – A single management network IP address.

  • ip-address–ip-address – A range of management network IP addresses. Example: 10.5.10.1-10.5.10.100

  • subnet/mask-length – A subnet with a mask length. Example: 10.0.8/24 or 10.0.8.128/28

• group – The name of a server group in which to add the discovered servers. If the server group does not exist, it will be created during the discovery.

• ipmi – Use IPMI credentials to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's management network IP address. The ipmi value is an IPMI password. If IPMI credentials are not specified and the provisionable server is in the factory default state, the discovery process will set the server's IPMI password to admin.

• snmp – Use SNMP credentials to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's management network IP address. The snmp format is a read community string for the SNMP credentials: read-community.

• ssh – Use SSH credentials to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's management network IP address. The ssh format is a user name/password pair for SSH credentials: ssh-username/ssh-password. If SSH credentials are not specified and the provisionable server is in the factory default state, the discovery process will set the server's SSH user name/password to admin/admin.

• telnet – Use telnet credentials to authenticate the discovery process based on server's management network IP address. The telnet credential is used only by ALOM-based systems. The telnet format is a user name/password pair for telnet credentials: telnet-username/telnet-password.
