Modifying an Existing Seed File
To modify an existing 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 Select File > Load Seeds from the Discovery Dialog menu. SGM displays the
Load File Dialog: Seed File List dialog (Figure3-3).
The Load File Dialog: Seed File List dialog contains the following fields:
•Type—Icon indicating whether the item in the table is a file or a folder.
•Name—Name of the seed file or folder.
•Last Modified—Date and time the seed file or folder was last modified.
•Size (bytes)—Size of the seed file or folder, in bytes.
•Make this my preferred start option—Specifies whether the selected seed
file is to be loaded automatically whenever this SGM client is started or the
Discovery Dialog is opened. By default, this checkbox is cleared for all seed
files. That is, no seed file is loaded automatically when the SGM client is
started or the Discovery Dialog is opened.
•Number of Files—Total number of seed files and folders (displayed in
bottom left corner).
To load a seed file, select the seed file in the list and click OK.
SGM closes the Load File Dialog: Seed File List dialog, loads the seed file, and
returns to the Discovery Dialog. SGM lists all of the seed nodes in the seed file in
the left pane of the window, and displays details of the SNMP settings for the seed
nodes in the right pane.
To close the Load File Dialog: Seed File List dialog without loading a seed file,
click Cancel.
Step4 (Optional) To add another seed node to the seed file, enter the name or IP address
of the seed node in the IP Address or DNS Hostname field, and click Add Node.
Step5 (Optional) To delete a seed node from the seed file, select the seed node and click
Delete Node.
