HP Network Direr Software Products manual Network Discovery Progress Dialog Box Minimized

Components 129

If the discovery was started as a result of a scheduled discovery the dialog box will first appear in its minimized form. In this case a progress bar appears in the status bar of the main window, indicating that it is performing a discovery:

Figure 45 Network Discovery Progress Dialog Box - Minimized

You can use the Stop button on the status bar to cancel the discovery operation, and the Restore button to restore the full Network Discovery Progress dialog box.

The Network Discovery Progress dialog box shows how complete each stage of the discovery is. The top two progress bars relate to the discovery process.

■The upper of these shows progress through the various discovery stages on the current subnet. See “The Discovery Process – Detecting Devices” on page 92 for details of the stages involved in discovering each subnet. This will reset each time the discovery process moves onto a new subnet.

■The lower of these indicates progress on the current discovery stage. This will reset each time the discovery process moves onto a new stage within the current subnet. After completing discovery of all specified subnets, this progress bar is used to indicate progress of the sizing stage.

The table in the center of the dialog box periodically displays the devices that have been detected. This is updated each time the discovery process establishes the exact type of a device it has discovered.

When the sizing stage is complete the discovery process moves on to topology (discovering links). The bottom progress bar on the dialog box is used to show the progress of each multinet. See “The Discovery Process – Determining Topology” on page 96 for more information

Click the Cancel button to abort the discovery process.

Click the Minimize button to hide the dialog box and reduced progress information is then displayed on the status bar.
