Introduction

You can use this dialog to set discovery parameters for physical platforms.

Fields

Physical Platforms
Auto-discover period (hours)
This setting is used to control how often the IBM Director Server will attempt to automatically discover other physical platforms for management. This feature can be disabled (the default value) or set to a period of 1 - 168 hours (7 days).
Presence Check Period (minutes)
This setting controls how often the IBM Director Server checks the status of each physical platform it can manage. The presence check period determines how quickly the IBM Director Server will detect whether a system is offline (due to a problem, or being shutdown) or online. The automatic presence check can be disabled, or set to repeat every 1 - 240 minutes (4 hours). The default value is 15 minutes.
