Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. My name is Dustin, I am a Principal Engineer SST
in the systems management space. Today I will be showing you the initial settings and the
initial discovery that you have to do when you first install and launch OpenManage Enterprise
appliance. So as you can see, we have step one initial settings, so what we have in there is
going to be your time configuration and your proxy configuration if you need one. So let's
start with the time configuration, I'm currently in Central Time, so i will need to find that.
Here we are, and then all the times look correct it's actually three here
central time, March 3rd, apply.
And that is saved and finished. You also have the option to use
NTP so this is where you're going to say, you know, pool.ntp.microsoft.com.
Most people are going to have their own internal NTP server but there's plenty
that you can just google out there and that will keep you in sync with the time on that server.
Proxy configuration.
This is where you'll have your proxy information you can actually add this now,
and you can also set it up again later.
We can apply that, and i will also disable it because I do not need a proxy and finish.
Next we will talk about discovering devices so this will bring up your very first
discovery wizard so what i'm going to show you in this one is just discovering one iDRAC for
sake of simplicity. In a future video we will go over more advanced discoveries. We have to choose
a drop down here, and for this one it's going to be a server. You can also choose chassis, storage,
switch, or you can do more than one. So iDRAC, my IP and my credentials
and i can even enable trap reception from the discovered servers.
So basically what that's going to do is go into the iDRAC itself and set up SNMP
traps to be sent back to this system. That's something that not a bad idea to do.
And we hit finish so this is when it's actually going to for the first time,
actually bring you into the first window. So it looks like I got an error on my proxy,
that's because I started it and left it, but if we go to our discovery we can see that it is running
and we can wait for it to finish. We can see our discovery running by going to jobs
and seeing this running discovery I can now view details and we can let it discover.
So now we can see that it did complete, it does take a few minutes, but it did complete.
Now we want to go to our devices so we can actually see this discovered device.
And as we can see here is our device and so that's it with initial discovery and initial settings.
We will be having a future video over more advanced discovery at a later time. Thank you.
