4.Click on an appliance to add and click the Add (>) icon to move the selection to the Appliances to Add list.
5.Repeat step 4 for all appliances you wish to add. Click Next to continue.
6.The Adding Appliances progress bar appears while the new switches are being added. Once all of the switches have been added to the local database, the Discover Wizard Completed page appears. Click Finish to exit the Wizard and return to the main window. Your new switch should now be in the Unit Selector pane.
The Discover Wizard will not automatically find servers attached to the appliance. After running the Discover Wizard, you must click the Resync button in the Appliance Management Panel to find servers attached to the appliance. For more information, see Resynchronizing the server listing in Chapter 4.
If one or more appliances could not be added to the local database for any reason (including if you clicked Stop during the add process), the Discover Wizard Not All Appliances Added page appears. This page will list all of the appliances that you selected and the status for each. The status will indicate if an appliance was added to the local database and if not, why the process failed. Click Done when you are finished reviewing the list.
NOTE: If an appliance already exists in the database with the same IP address as a discovered unit, then the discovered unit will be ignored and will not display on the next Wizard page.
Accessing an Appliance
When you click the Appliances button, you will see a list of the appliances currently defined in the local database. To access an appliance, you must first log into it by typing in a username and password. Once you have logged into an appliance, AVWorks will cache the username and password in memory for the duration of the AVWorks session.
NOTE: You can clear the login credentials by selecting Tools - Clear Login Credentials.
