File Storage Analysis Discovery: Optionally refine your scope list with exclusions

Exclusions refine the inclusions you have defined. You can do this optional step in conjunction with inclusions. For full details, see Refining Your Scope with Exclusions .

To explicitly exclude objects from your selected scope

1

Add.

If you have a text file containing the computers to be selected, click Import

2

Browse to locate the file containing the computers to be imported and select Exclude Computers.

3

Expand the treeview to locate the object you want to exclude.

You can press Ctrl to select multiple objects.

4

Click Exclude.

5

Select the file and click Open to start the import.

File Storage Analysis Discovery: Decide what to collect from any server in the discovery

You can collect a variety of information from the computers in your discovery. The storage attributes and volume information are always collected.

The following table outlines the additional information that can be collected. Collecting additional information impacts discovery performance. Options with a high performance cost will slow discovery performance more than options with a medium or low performance cost.

Table 24. File Storage Analysis Discovery: Optionally collect information for the following objects

Performance Cost

•

If collecting shares, you can enable this option to collect hidden shares.

•

Home Directories

If collecting shares, you can enable this option to collect home directories.

NOTE: Selecting the Home Directory option automatically collects shares (including hidden shares), regardless of the other options selected.

Collect NAS using Configuration

If collecting targets on NAS host devices, enable this option and configure the NAS host device. For more information, see File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices .

•

If unable to collect volumes use shares as volumes

•

Follow Directory Symbolic Links

If collecting folders, you can enable this option to collect and follow directory symbolic links.

File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices

If you have NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected, you must enable the collection option and add the configuration and credentials for each host device. You can optionally omit NAS host device configuration and collect shares as volumes for NAS device targets in the discovery. Use this option when volumes cannot be retrieved or do not need to be collected.

•

Configuring a NAS Host Device

•

File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices

For FluidFS targets, enter the IP address of the computer where Enterprise Manager is installed.

5

Enter the Host port number.

6

Click the ellipsis (...) to use the Credential Manager to enter and select the credentials required to access this device. For more information, see Using the Credential Manager .

7

Click OK to close the Credential Manager.

8

Click OK to close the NAS Configuration details.

9

Click Close to close the NAS Host Device Manager.

To delete a NAS host device

3

Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

4

Click Close to close the NAS Host Device Manager.

Choosing Your Microsoft SQL Scopes

The scopes of a SQL discovery can consist of database servers, instances or databases, in any combination. There are two steps for creating your scope:

•

Select what to include.

•

Select what to exclude. You can exclude targets explicitly for a server or instance, or globally for all servers.


	TIP: It is strongly recommended that each SQL Server® is included in only one discovery. Including a server in differently configured discoveries can result in data loss.
