Discovering Nodes

You can’t execute a discover script while a Net Discover window is still open — either because there is a discover still in progress, or because the window was not closed when a previous discover completed.

Figure 3-11. The Discover Manager Window

You cannot execute a new discover session if a previous session is still running or if the Discover window from a previous session is still open. If either of these conditions exists, a footer message at the bottom of the Discover Manager window will indicate that a discover is in progress (as illustrated in Figure 3-11). To clear this condition, close the Discover Manager window, activate the Network Discover window (which may be minimized or hidden behind the main NetSight Element Manager window), wait for the active discover session to complete (or stop it, as described in Stopping a Discover in Progress, page 3-17), close the Network Discover window, re-launch the Discover Manager, and execute your new session.

When you have successfully launched a discover session, the Discover Manager window automatically closes, and the Network Discover window (Figure 3-12, below) opens. For more detailed information about this window and the discover process, see the following sections.
