Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager

Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager

If your business uses a virtual Hyper-V-based environment, you can discover Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) devices using discovery scheduling. To scan your network for Hyper-V or SCVMM devices, and to capture information about those devices, add an Authenticated Discovery Schedule.

The devices imported into the appliance using this method do not consume any licenses. Each SCVMM and Hyper-V device consumes only an agentless license used to inventory the underlying Windows systems. SCVMM and Hyper-V devices that are also provisioned with the KACE Agent each consume two licenses.

1.
Go to the Discovery Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Schedules.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
Select the Discovery Type to display the form with the options for the selected type, in this case Authenticated [WinRM, SNMP, SSH, VMware, Hyper-V].
3.
In the Name field, enter a name for the scan.
This name appears on the Discovery Schedules page.
4.
Expand the WinRM, Hyper-V, VMM section and configure the Discovery options.

Option

Description

Timeout

The time, in seconds, up to 1 minute, after which the connection is closed if there is no activity.

Require Kerberos

If selected, Kerberos is required for authentication. NTLM will not be used as an alternative when Kerberos is unavailable.

Using Kerberos requires DNS Lookup to be enabled in the same discovery configuration. The DNS Server is also required in the local appliance network settings.

Add a Discovery Schedule for SNMP-enabled non-computer devices

Add a Discovery Schedule for SNMP-enabled non-computer devices

To scan your network for non-computer devices and capture information about those devices, you can add an Authenticated—SNMP Discovery Schedule.

To enable SNMP, port 161 must be open on the appliance and on the device.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for monitoring managed devices on a network. SNMP v3 uses authentication and encryption algorithms to increase the security of SNMP communications. When you configure the SNMP v3 options, the appliance performs an SNMP v3 scan on selected devices. If that scan fails, the appliance attempts an SNMP v2 or v1 scan using the specified Public String.

SNMP scan results include all SNMP-capable devices. Remote shell extensions enable the appliance to connect to devices, run commands, and capture Discovery information.

* 
NOTE: After a Discovery Schedule is saved, you cannot change SNMP to SSH authentication.
1.
Go to the Discovery Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Schedules.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
Select the Discovery Type to display the form with the options for the selected type, in this case Authenticated [WinRM, SNMP, SSH, VMware, Hyper-V].
The following options appear before the Notify section:
◦
DNS Lookup
◦
Relay
◦
WinRM, Hyper-V, VMM
◦
SSH
◦
SNMP

For this procedure only DNS Lookup and SNMP are pertinent

3.
In the Name field, enter a name for the scan.
This name appears on the Discovery Schedules page.
4.
In the IP Address Range field, enter an IP address range to scan. Use hyphens to specify individual IP address class ranges. For example, type 192.168.2-5.1-200 to scan for all IP addresses between 192.168.2-5.1 and 192.168.2-5.200, inclusive.
* 
TIP: The appliance supports both IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) and IPv4 addresses.
* 
CAUTION: A maximum of 25,000 IP addresses is supported. If you specify an IP range that results in more than 25,000 addresses, a warning appears when you attempt to save the provisioning schedule.
5.
Expand DNS Lookup and select the Discovery options.

Including DNS Lookup enables Discovery to identify the name of the device. DNS Lookup is important if you want device names to appear in the Discovery Results and Inventory lists.

Option

Description

Name Server for Lookup

The hostname or IP address of the name server.

* 
TIP: The appliance supports both IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) and IPv4 addresses.

Timeout

The time, in seconds, after which a DNS lookup expires. If an address is not found during this time, the process “times out.”

6.
Expand Relay and select the Discovery options.

Configuring the Relay options allows yout to configure a KACE Agent to act as a tunnel WinRM, SSH and SNMP traffic to the agent connection protocol for WinRM, SSH and SNMP discovery schedules, agentless inventory, and agent provisioning.

Option

Description

Relay Device

Specify the device that you want to use as a relay for agentless device inventory.

A relay device that is used during discovery as a relay is used for agentless inventory, when a new device is provisioned automatically from discovery results.

Selected relay devices are listed on the following pages:

•
On the Agentless Device Connection Details page, when a new device is provisioned automatically from discovery results. For more information about this page, see Enable Agentless management by entering device information manually.
•
On the Provisioning Schedule Detail page, when agent provisioning is initiated from discovery results. For more information, see Install the KACE Agent on a device or multiple devices.
•
On the Agentless Device Connection Details page, when a new device is provisioned automatically from discovery results. For more information about this page, see Enable Agentless management by entering device information manually.
7.
Expand SNMP and select the Discovery options.

Option

Description

SNMP Full Walk

Enable a Full Walk of data in the MIB (management information base) on devices. If this option is cleared, the appliance does a Bulk GET, which searches three core OIDs (object identifiers). When selecting this option, be aware that a Full Walk can take up to 20 minutes per device. The default, Bulk GET, takes approximately one second and acquires all of the information needed for Discovery.

* 
NOTE: SNMP inventory walk does not support non-English characters on Windows devices. If it encounters non-English characters, the SNMP inventory process reports an error and stops loading inventory information.

Timeout

The time, in seconds, after which the scan ends if no response is returned.

Maximum Attempts

The number of times the connection is attempted.

Credentials (SNMPv1/v2)

The details of the SNMP v1/v2 credentials required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add credentials not already listed.

See Add and edit SNMP credentials.

Credentials (SNMPv3)

The details of the SNMP v3 credentials required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add credentials not already listed.

See Add and edit SNMP credentials.

8.
Optional: In the Notify section, enter an email address for being notified of when the discovery scan completes. The email includes the name of the discovery schedule.
9.
Specify the scan schedule:
* 
TIP: To maintain the scan inventory without scanning, set the schedule of the scan configuration to None.

Option

Description

About Discovery Results

About Discovery Results

Discovery Results show information identified during Discovery Schedule scans.

If devices in inventory correspond to records in the Discovery Results, the devices’ current connection status is displayed. The device name links to the Inventory Detail page for that device, and the Device Action drop-down list in the DNS Lookup column shows the available Device Actions.

* 
NOTE: For information about browser requirements for Device Actions, go to https://support.quest.com/kb/148787.

Discovery Results are a "point-in-time" view, and any newly defined devices for management will reflect their state the next time discovery is run.

See Managing inventory information.

The results showing the IP address at the time of the scan might not reflect the current IP address of a given device if the DHCP-assigned IP address has changed.
