You can run Discovery multiple times to attempt to discover additional nodes
based on the IP address defined in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP) linksets. If you are using a separate management VLAN to manage your
nodes, but private or unreachable IP addresses for your SCTP connectivity, clear
the Entire Network checkbox in the Discovery Dialog. Otherwise, Discovery
attempts to reach those nodes continuously. Instead, enter all nodes to be
discovered directly into the seed list and do a nonrecursive Discovery.
Configuring Seed Files
SGM enables you to create, save, load, and delete SGM seed files.

Creating a New Seed File

To create a new seed file in SGM:
Step1 Select Edit > Network Discovery from the SGM Main Menu. SGM displays the
Discovery Dialog (Figure 3-2).
Step2 Select the Seed Settings tab, if it is not already selected. SGM displays the Seed
Settings panel.
Step3 Enter the name or IP address of a seed node in the IP Address or DNS Hostname
field, and click Add Node. SGM displays details of the SNMP settings for the
seed node in the right pane of the window.
Continue to add as many seed nodes as necessary.
