Step B — Discovery Data Collection

Discovery Data Collection must be performed before you can do provisioning and/or obtain provisioning information, such as data about zone sets and LUN numbers. Clusters won’t be recognized until Discovery Data Collection is completed. Discovery Data Collection must be run on all of the participating nodes of application clusters.

Keep in mind the following:

•Running Discovery Data Collection takes time. You might want to perform this process when the network and the managed elements are not busy.

•Reports show data from the last successful Discovery Data Collection and report cache update. When a scheduled Discovery Data Collection finishes, the report cache refreshes automatically. If you run Discovery Data Collection manually, the report cache updates every 6 hours. For information about refreshing the report cache, see ”Refreshing a Report” on page 437.
