Using the SPMA Discover Application 3-3
Launching SPMA Discover
The SPMA Discover tool is located in the Solstice Enterprise Manager
console Tools menu. It doesnÕt matter which console view window
you have open when you launch SPMA Discover; SPMA Discover
will examine every active (that is, pingable) component in the
currently open management database before it stops.
To launch SPMA Discover:
1. In the Solstice Enterprise Manager Console window, click on the
Tools menu; drag down to SPMA Discover, and release. The
SPMA Discover Program window will appear.
2. In the SNMP Read Community field, enter a community name
which will provide at least Read access to all of the Cabletron
devices you wish to discover.
3. Click Start to begin the discover process.
As SPMA Discover ÒdiscoversÓ Cabletron devices in your current
SEM management database, it will convert the generic glyph
assigned by SEM Discover to the appropriate Cabletron
device-speciÞc glyph, and list the discovered devices in the Discover
window. Glyphs will remain in their original positions in the display
window.
NOTE
SPMA Discover can only examine glyphs that represent active network
devices Ñ that is, devices which are up and running at the time SPMA
Discover is launched.
TIP
If no single community name is available to provide Read access to all of
your Cabletron devices, you can run the SPMA Discover application as
many times as necessary to convert all of your Cabletron devices.
