File Storage Analysis Discovery: Include scopes

You can include domains, OUs, containers, individual computers, and volumes in your scope. For full information on using the browser to add scopes, see Using the Browser to Include and Exclude Scopes . You can create scopes using a dynamic query, which is resolved when the discovery is run. This gives you the flexibility to describe the computers you want to target. For more information, see Using Queries to Define Your Scopes .

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.

 

Shares

 

 

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

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.
